Day Fourteen - Progress 250 miles



Driving east out of the mountains and into the Canadian plains we were treated to two bull elks by the road, each with very intimidating racks.  With the pine and mountains now yielding to pasture land with hundreds of cattle, we had to bid the Rockies farewell.
 





We were now headed towards the Flying Colours Horse Farm, south of Edmonton, which is part of a cool association of private farms that make space available to motor homes for overnight stay at no charge.  This dressage stable had no other visitors for the evening, so the kids enjoyed Frisbee on the grass lawns and a bit of interaction with two of the magnificently well-trained and beautiful horses that enjoyed running synchronously in the fields. Amy definitely has the touch with horses; they came right over to the fence for her.  I think that perhaps they were quite curious about the big white beast that rolled onto their grass.
