One of my favs. Check out this page. :) http://www.doctorsreview.com/features/albertas-cowboy-trail/ Were you keeping that trail from me? 700k's a long ride but I'd be up for it. :) I plan on spending a week or so in the area. Camping probably. I'll have to have a beer and a meal there though just to say I did. :) Any chance of seeing some wild horses? My sister and I support a cause to help them. The Wild Horses of Alberta Society. It'd be nice to see what I'm supporting. It would also be nice if I could bring my Remington 750 out with me and maybe we could go hunting the fuckers who are snaring and/or shooting them. I'd really like that. > >Here is a taste of what you will see in the Alberta and BC Rockies >http://actualriders.ca/cc2007.htm Kewel! :) Except for the what the Pine Beetle has done. Hope you guys put a stop to them. If they get into the thick of the boreal forests they'll kill their way across the continent. Good luck with that. >> >>I'll let you know when I'm heading out.

I'll probably be along at the end of the first week or mid-second week of Aug 2012. Looking forward to riding with you. :)

A few weeks ago my whole site had to be taken down. I just put those few oages back up so you could take a look at some of our scenery and fine roads. I didn't clean up the links to those other pages. Some day I will get them all back up and working. > > >Check out the map and you will see a town called Black Diamond, The > >hotel there has a terrific bar where you can wear that stetson.

One of my favs. Unforgiven! That's the one.

Even though the 40 Loop is closed for much of the year as it is a migratory wildlife corridor I have never seen wild horses there. >My sister and I support a cause > to help them.
