Along Secondary Highway 500 in southern Alberta. The bridge in the distance is where the road crosses the Milk River. Writing-on-Stone Park is just a few miles west and the Aden border crossing is about fifteen miles southeast.

I see my share of "wide open prairie landscapes" but this is likely the most barren landscape I've seen in some time. If you follow the road it will lead you to the pioneer Bethel Bruderthaler Cemetery. Some distance south is the town of Zurich, Montana; remember these?: Grain Elevators in Zurich

The road that passes through the ghost town of Glen Kerr, Saskatchewan. I'm glad someone put up a sign. Not too far away is the old one-room school house that now serves as a community hall.

A summer day in farming country in the Eastend area of Saskatchewan. I didn't have a chance to get out on many road trips this year so it was a real treat to get away for a few days. Eastend is a favourite (and close) "go to" spot.

Along Battle Creek Road in the Cypress Hills of Saskatchewan is the "West Benson Trail" turnoff. Good luck with this one if it rains.

Four horses in a pasture near Stampede, North Dakota. A little used road way out in the boonies. Lots of old cemeteries, churches and homesteads in the county.

A road past a field of sunflowers west of Hilda, Alberta. In a word: "Happy!"

Fall in Vulcan County, Alberta. I've spent many enjoyable hours traveling the grid roads and trails here in search of pioneer school locations. There were about one hundred and twenty one-room schools in the county and most of them have been marked with a memorial sign.

Driving along Highway 232 between Havre, Montana and the Wild Horse border crossing. At this intersection is some "road art" attached to the top of a fence post. The same artist has attached samples of his work all around Montana, Alberta and Saskatchewan. They generally strike me as cynically fun folk art.

A tough old willow tree growing in a ditch not far from Comrey, Alberta. It was a very foggy day and bitterly cold...everything was covered with a thick frost. A friend was supposed to join me on this trip but when I told him how remote it was he chickened-out. What can I say...no sense of adventure!

A road allowance not far from the sunflower patch shown above. About half a mile down this rutted trail is Hilda Bethlehem Lutheran Cemetery. I parked the car and walked in...no bugs, no wind, just a nice sunny morning.

On my way back home to Medicine Hat, Alberta along Highway 232 (again) in Montana. Only fifteen miles to the Wild Horse border crossing.
I love road trips!

Love the theme. Great post.
ReplyDeleteThat photo of the barebones trail made me think of a childhood trip in Manitoba to pick saskatoon berries when we had to drive down a bumpy old cart track like that.
ReplyDeleteGreat assortment of roads! Lucky you to get a photo of a double rainbow - I've never had one turn out.
