The gardening season was over so one last road trip was in order before the onset of winter. The eventual destination of the journey was Gimli, Manitoba but there was no rush...there are lots of places to see along the way.
On Day One I drove north from Medicine Hat, made a few stops in the Cappon area and then was off to the Cereal Hotel for a homemade burger. After lunch I headed into the countryside northeast of Oyen for a return visit to Fairacres School.
It always looks stately, sturdy and strong no matter what the season.
And as a bonus, it has recently provided a home to a pair of hawks to raise their young.
The school was originally located a few miles away; this sign marks the spot.
After a few more stops I was off to Kindersley for the night. More to see in the morning.

The hawks have chosen a pretty nice home - far cosier than a tree I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very secure spot and a great lookout as well.
DeleteGood to see it is still standing.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it still has a few good decades standing upright. Hope so anyway.
