Learning to Dance in the Snow....

Saturday, May 29

Bow Island to Bow Island

An unexpected snowfall has us 'hunkered down' in our hotel for an 'unplanned' day off. A nasty surprise! Looking out the window this morning I did a 'double take'! Was it really possible that the ground was white? Then the sound of a snowplow going by on the Hwy confirmed that I was not hallucinating! We had a significant amount of snow on the ground, it was snowing extremely hard, and the temperature was -1. Thank goodness the weather was lousy yesterday so we were 'holed up' in a hotel and not in our tent!!! By noon the snow was starting to melt and by 2:00 it has changed over to rain. Still not nice out. Our scheduled ride to Medicine Hat has been delayed for a day. We are catching up on the local news. We have read the Medicine Hat News and The 40-Mile County Commentator and Sue has just found an advertisement to an all-inclusive trip to Puerto Vallarta for $498...maybe we could ship the bikes home and fly to the sunny south...Calgary Airport is not that far! We are planning our own 'Stanley Cup Party' for tonight. Life is not all that bad!!!

Daily Distance = for the first time on this adventure the bicycles have not moved.
