Lacombe, AB

Lacombe was an add on stop.  It is between Calgary and Edmonton.  We have some friends from Apache Wells that live in Lacombe so we spent 2 nights in an RV park and got together with Ian and Natalie.

 Ian had been on the city council and was a great tour guide.  The town has beautiful murals on many of the building depicting the history of the town.

One day we took a ride to see lots of thing outside of Lacombe but still in central Alberta.  We saw some Hoo Doos.

Walked across a suspension bridge.

and more.  A fun day.

As we traveled north out of Calgary we kept seeing these massive fields of a bright yellow flower.  We had no idea what it was but it was certainly a crop of some sort.  We learned it was canola plants.  Turns out that we saw acre after acre of the crop even as we drove thru the rest of Alberta and into Saskatchewan.
