Crossing the Open Plains of Alberta

I flipped on the trail today due to storms, headed out into the plains instead of the mountains here in Alberta. Dark clouds passed like curtains and patches of rain fell in sheets. I did get to the Badlands and Dino ville, and then criss-crossed on back roads.
Scenic vistas out every window, stirring the soul, Wheatland Alberta, till I ended up at the Rocking R Guest Ranch in Strathmore. The Bunk House is superb, rolling lake views and Navajo rugs, the neighing horses just out back. Banff in the morning but back to the Rocking R for my last night.
