JULY 13, 2012
Today is a travel day. We have to drive 179 miles to get to Cochrane, Alberta, Canada (just outside of Calgary). On our way we stopped at Fort MacLeod to view the fort. This fort was the first police fort to be established to bring law and order to the Canadian West. We also got to watch the Famous Musical Ride. This is a replica of the official Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride. If you don't know what this is, it is a performed by Cadets (all of them happened to be girls) on horseback doing all kinds of figured maneuvers to music. The official ride is done by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police which we will see at the Stampede. It is amazing how precise and coordinated these maneuvers are. It was a great place to visit.
We then stopped at a bank to exchange a bit of money to Canadian and to a bakery for a sweet treat & coffee and then off to the campground.
