After
getting packed, having breakfast, putting the bunkhouse back in
order, and saying goodbye to Wendy and thanking her for her
hospitality, we hit the road heading for Waterton Lakes National
Park.
Saw
an eagle's nest on our way back to the main road
and
this little fallen angel when we got out to take pictures of it.
We're
getting closer to the mountains
and
stopped at this scenic overlook on the way.
Just
outside the park, we came across a buffalo paddock with a sign at the
entrance that said stay in your car, wild animals are dangerous so of
course the idiot in front of us on the loop through the paddock kept
getting out of his car to take pictures.
Once
in the park we took the scenic drive to Red Rock Canyon through the
northern range of the Rockies. No way I can come up with any words
so I'll just let the pictures speak.

Nat
and I take pictures of each other.
On
our way out we drove through the town site which existed before the
area was made into a national park and is grandfathered in but we
didn't stop. We had a long drive ahead of us back to Calgary but we
did stop for mexican food for lunch at a restaurant Wendy
recommended. Coming from Texas I wouldn't call it mexican food
exactly but it was good enough. Then a quick stop In Black Diamond
at the Blue Rock Gallery where I bought a cute little turned wood
ornament, I guess, of a birdhouse.
Once
back at the comfort of Denise's home, Natali left to return the car
she had rented for our journey to Waterton and Catharine, Denise, and
I got into our jammies, fixed our martinis and an assortment of
leftovers for dinner, and settled down to watch a movie.
Tomorrow
was my leave taking.
