None today. Gas in Edmonton is at $84.5/litre. Nice to be in Alberta!
Glowing Embers RV Park $35/night less 15% CAA or Good Pal member. Nice park, but very noisy as it is along the highway and you here everything.

Drove into Edmonton from Whitecourt, only 175km. Landscape is flat, agricultural lands that are separated by trees. Not much to see that's worth writing about.
Went to the West Edmonton Mall. Quite the place, with ice rink, huge water park with a 106 ft. bungee jump, waterslides galore and wave pool. There was also an Imax theatre, shooting range, amusement area, submarine ride in lake, mini golf course, over 100 restaurants and tons of different stores (a lot of them are found in any larger mall).
Highway 22 into Edmonton had some construction as they were repaving.
Temperature: The day was very nice, high about 31 degrees C, with clear blue skies. Haven't seen that for a while. Rest of the week is to be hot and clear.

ReplyDeleteThe mall is quite amazing especially when it first opened. Lots of folks in Saskatoon go there in the winter for a break from the cold weather.
Enjoy Drumheller. From the CBC weather report it looks like lots of hot dry weather in that part of the country.
