ROAD TRIP!

Last night, in a fit of packing procrastination (I know I move in less than two weeks) I said to my sad friend, R "Let's go on a road trip tomorrow." R agreed that my special brand of Tomfoolery might be an appropriate way to quell his sadness, so tally-ho, off we went this morning to Drumheller. Here is a rather terrible picture of Horseshoe Canyon. I never like any pictures of Horseshoe Canyon, because you can never really see how big it is.... well it's big, believe me!!! The special thing about Horseshoe Canyon is that you're driving along in flat-ass prairie for an hour and a half and then there's this big HOLE suddenly. It's so strange... I daresay it's a place that Wiley Coyote would find appealing.... *poof* *splat*

Next it was off to Drumheller, where we met a gigantic T Rex, who we named Al. We had a special bond with Al, until Al decided that R looked like a good snack....

In my attempts to save R from Al, I fainted.... I guess heroics aren't really my strength....

Then on the way back into downtown Drumheller (or so I thought), my questionable driving skills got us completely, utterly, hopelessly lost. LUCKILY, we found a very cool abandoned old farm house. Abandoned farm houses are a dime a dozen out here, but very few are this cool and creepy AND have wide open gates. R is much braver than me, so he got out of the car and I followed. I almost had a heart attack from a silly pigeon, BUT we weren't even attacked by rattle snakes, so HOORAH! This is the roof of the farm house...

This is the manky side of the farm house....
And this is the even MANKIER inside of the farm house....yum.... rotting things.... but it made for pretty pictures :)

It was a very good day, and I think after 14 years of knowing me, R has finally come to see my childish, bratty side (phew, glad THAT'S out in the open now.... lol!) I'm not sure if he had fun, but *I* sure did.
