No...It can't be!

This morning, Monday, I packed up the Malibu and headed off towards Calgary. The weather has been on and off rain for the last week. Wet...I left this in the Philippines! Or so I thought.

Traveling the transCanada hwy went well. A stop in Salmon Arm for gas and a CR break, a stop in Revelstoke to purchase a drink, a stop in Golden for lunch. The weather was on and off rain as I climbed up into the Rocky Mountains. The mountains got higher and their tops got whiter. At Rogers Pass I stopped to take photos of the gorgous scenery. I do miss the peaks!

I climbed higher and the rain came more often. It was not too farther from the pass that I noticed specks in the air. Little, tiny, white specks in the air! Unbelieveable! They are little specks of snow! Not enough to stick and not enough to stay on the ground but enough to say, It's snow!!!!!

At 4:30 pm I arrived in Canmore. But I was discouraged soon enough. Most of the motels had already turned on the No Vacancy sign. After driving by 5 motels I did find one on the edge of town. It is where I am writing this.

Tomorrow, Red Deer. At least tomorrow night Iwill be with friends!
