Well today we are in Writing-On-Stone Provincial Park in southern Alberta and it is my 4th day joining the crew touring out west. So far it has been an amazing trip and I just got here!!! The senery is absolutely amazing! At the begining of the day you can start out by driving through the prairies and then sundenly there are rolling hills all around you and gorgeous miniture canions with streams and rivers trickling through them. The skies have been clear and at night you can see all the millions of stars in the sky. This province is absolutely beautiful and i'm loving every minute of it!!!
The last couple of days we have had shows in Coaldale, Warner, and Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park as well as at Writing-On-Stone. There have been some great turn outs, all the kids have been awesome and are genuinely interested in learning about species at risk. We have also been able to convert some people from fearing snakes into thinking they are really cool animals and that they are worth protecting (which is of course our goal).
Now we are heading off to a more western part of Alberta and hopefully we'll be in BC by the end of the week! I'm very excited for the weeks to come and the creatures I will see, not to mention travelling throught the Rockies!!! Hopefully all will go as planned and even if there are a couple of bumps along the road, that's ok, cause that's what a road trip is all about, right? So stay tunned to our continuous adventure and we'll keep you posted!
