Day 4 - Cranbrook B.C.


Woke last night to the sound of rain lashing the windows and morning dawned gray, cool and wet. We left Saskatchewan, drove through Alberta and crossed into BC without a break in the skies, but I continued to take pictures as we drove. They are soft and misty, haunting in a way.
The flatness of the prairies gives way to the foothills of Alberta and then the mountains of BC.



We covered another 700K today; points of interest along the way: Wind farms in Alberta, Crowsnest Pass, a tunnel through the mountain, the Frank Slide (where Turtle Mountain crumbled burying the mining town of Frank back in 1903), and the world's largest truck at Sparwood B.C.
