 Day 4 August 9, 2021

A good looking day so we decided to continue our trip.  Left home and headed towards Frog Lake in NE Alberta.





Also did the walking tour of the original site. Afterwards we went south to Lloydminister for the night.

On our way south we crossed the North Saskatchewan River 


River so wide it has 5 spans across it.

Day 5 August 10, 2021

Up and headed SE towards Warman, Sask to Darlene's place. Darlene is an ole biker friend who is now 84.  Took her out for supper to Thomas the Cook Restaurant and had a very good meal & service. Got back to house and continued our visiting till bed time.  Sorry no Pictures. (not sue why we have the camera phone as we are always forgetting to take pictures.)

Day 6 August 11, 2021

Up and on our way after breakfast and headed for Medicine Hat.  The wind was horrible all the way.
Got checked into motel and went to Ralph's across the street for supper.  Awesome food.

Day 7 August 12, 2021

After breakfast we loaded up & headed for Ivan & Wendy's Harley shop and a visit for a while before we headed up HWY 41 to Consort, where we stopped for a bowl of soup & sandwich for lunch.  Back on the road and a short visit in Castor with Jim & Julie and of course an awesome piece of pie.
Home at 4:30 PM

The second half of our trip was 1780 KM (1110 Miles)
A very good trip except for a couple of really windy days.

 Day 2 Aug 4,2021

This was at Marg's place in Kirkkaldy yesterday

We started the day with a small tour of Anne's old house.  Saw my old cat/house sitter for 5 minutes. Then it was off to the casino where we met up with Harvey for breakfast.  After breakfast we headed to Olwen's place in Milk River for the nite. Stopped at the information center.
For supper we went to the chinese restaurant.  It started to rain before we got back to Olwen's place.
Had thunder, lightening and rain pretty much for most of the night.



The forecast for where we were going did not look that good.  So with no leathers packed we decided to head for home till the weather system moves away. Stopped at the Whistle Stop in Mirror for an early supper before heading to Red Deer Lake to see Leonard's new trailer before heading home. Home by 5:30.  If weather is better tomorrow or Saturday we will continue on our vacation to Saskatchewan.

 Day 1 Aug 3, 2021

We left home about a quarter to 10 and headed east to Highway 21.  Then it was south to the Trans Canada Hwy.  We stopped in Three Hills for fuel.  Got to Marg's in Kirkcaldy about 1 PM for an awesome lunch & desert.  After lunch we headed for Lethbridge to the Motel 6 and got checked in.  Ben Walter was at the DQ and saw the bike and said to himself that Anne & Gerry must be in town so he dropped over to the motel and we had a good visit.  We then walked over to the DQ (about 100 yards from room) where we met up with 17 of our friends for an awesome visit. Then Harvey came to see the bike and after he left we went for 2 long block walk & back.  No pictures today.
