Enjoyed the Gopher Hole Museum in Torrington, AB - think Dinner For Shmucks, only with gophers instead of mice. Numerous, well-lit diorama, with costumes and accessories, depicting typical human activities: hunting, picnicking, dating, courting, and even wedding. Each has a caption, often poking fun at animal rights enthusiasts and local figures, such as the one below with the slogan G.A.G.S.: Gophers Against Gopher Stuffing. 
Then on through the fields to Drumheller. First stop: the giant dinosaur! for the price of a $3 admission fee, one can climb up and into its mouth.
Red River Valley from the Hoodoos - storms are visible from miles away!
And finally, the Royal Tyrell Museum, with its ginormous collection of dinosaurs! My favorite was this prehistoric turtle.
There was also a great exhibit from the Burgess Shale area on in west side of the Canadian Rockies, which is a treasure trove of prehistoric ocean life. Burgess Shale Geoscience Foundation
With stops like that you must have found some interesting things to eat....so?????
ReplyDeleteand, so, you passed up Banff and Jasper National Parks to go to - even Google had trouble finding it: Drumheller? I'm proud of you! LOL Bring Warren back some water from Lake Louise.
ReplyDeleteWhy would Warren want some water from Lake Louise?! Went there today - some tourists spectacularly tipped their rented canoe into the no doubt frigid waters of Lake Louise - photo op!
