The Alberta Roamer Escapees Rally
We've just had a wonderful four days with the Alberta Roamers - Chapter #44 of the Escapee RV Club - a group to which we belong. This group is known for its great events and the Mesa Rally in March was our first multi-day activity with them. We've attended a couple of lunches over the last couple of years but have missed out on the playtime until this year.

DINOSAURS!

Dinosaurs and Coal
... mine with battery packs and helmet lamps and see some large lump coal. At the top just outside the mine is a Blacksmiths shop where we heard stories about one valuable donkey called Strawberries. Strawberries had a sixth sense about cave-ins and when he/she wouldn't go in, you'd know there would be a cave-in.
