We leave Dave's by 8 AM headed for Cranbrook via the Crowsnest Pass. Highway 3 is a must for any motorcycle enthusiast. Absolutely amazing. It undulates through the mountains; twisting like a snake as it follows the river. This has to be one of the most scenic roads in North America.
In Cranbrook Peter contacts one of his newspaper colleges in Calgary. Bruce MacPherson is able to get us tickets to see Tom Cochran tomorrow night at the stampede. Bonus! Bruce lives near the LRT system south of Calgary. Peter suggests we stay at a Super 8 nearby, so we can take it into Calgary. Things are really starting to fall into place. I am getting excited about this little detour.
A couple we talk with in Tim's, suggests we take Hwy 22 into Calgary instead of the TransCanada. It is far more scenic. We can do that what is a little side trip in 20,000 kms?
