Well we were aiming at meeting up with another reefer before heading out at Chinook mall but somehow I lead us (Snaggle behind me in his car) to the wrong end of town (WAY EAST, like out of town East) by missing the turn off.
The real adventure was getting back, finding the missed turn off and then after finally hitting my destination it was the adventure to leave Calgary going through the crowd of stampeders!
But got to drive right in front of the amazing view of the stampede fireworks. OOhh...Ahhhh... very pretty and was the most perfect spot to see them to, going down the hill of Mcleod trail.
Yup, the adventure home was LONG, but thank gawd for Tim Horton's in Red Deer stop. Nothing like a wake up java for the rest of the highway drive. I have to thank Snaggle (Brad) for leading most of the way, keeping each other in check if one of us fell asleep behind the wheel. I was SoOoOo tired and know he was to. But We Both MADE IT HOME! WoOHOO! Brad was kind to send me an email to double check if I made it the rest of the way.
Boy, I can't tell a short stories, can I.
