Day 16 - Wednesday, October 2

The area northeast of Okotoks is certainly back in the prairies, a bit rolling at times. 

About 19 kilometres before entering Drumheller the Horseshoe Canyon opens with absolutely no warning. If Ron hadn't mentioned it to us last night we probably would have driven by. There is no evidence of it from the road. Leave the highway, drive about half a kilometere and you see this.

A walk to the bottom is even more awe-inspiring...a little rough on the knees going down but well worth the effort.

Fortunately it was not a hot day (9 degrees with a few more in wind chill). It would be murder here in the summer.

As you all know I love humourous, often unexplainable signs. In the porta-potties this sign had me baffled, I think I get the first two images but could someone please explain why fishing in the toilettes should ever be brought up at all. I don't even want to imagine what your goal was here.

Welcome to Drumheller - no question what the attraction is here.

We've seen the world's largest mallard duck and the world's largest beaver on this trip so we had to take a look at the world's largest dinosaur. It's at the Visitor Centre and certainly gets your attention.

From there it was a trip to the smallest church I've ever seen, seating 10,000 people, six at a time. Again, why? This town is Ripley's Believe or Not and Niagara Falls' Clifton Hill all rolled into one.

We are certainly looking forward to tomorrow.   😎

PS...if there are any baseball fans out there, Detroit eliminating Houston in 

2 Wild Card games is HUGE! Go Tigers!
