My wife and daughter are visiting the in-laws for a couple of weeks, so I had a chance to do something very rare this weekend....a multi-day (even if its just overnight) solo road trip without a car seat!

 

Time to let the Volvo gather dust, and take a trip through Alberta cowboy country.

A dinner stop at the Longview Steakhouse. Nice meat and nice Mercs.

The drive from Pincher Creek to Waterton National Park has to be one of the nicest drives in Canada.

Kayaked to the other side, and inadvertently crossed the border into Montana (the very tip of Cameron Lake is American). It was the 4th of July after all.

Thanks Unreal, appreciate it. The Cowboy Trail down to Waterton is one of those places where there's a Kodak moment around every corner. We're pretty lucky to be living so close by.

 

Now off to clean 10 pounds of tiny-roadkill off my bumper...

Nice pics.......I lived West of Pincher Creek for a number of years; beautiful country especially if you enjoy the outdoors.

Thanks guys...photography's always been a hobby of mine, and combining it with cars is always a great time. I'm always up for a photoshoot!
