The rockies from the Eastern Aspect. Also the winter Olympics home, They want us to Luge.
Today we drove to Calgary and went to Fort Calgary and learnt about the Mountie's and the formation of the outpost and town of Calgary. We then went to the Stampede. We watched Steer Roping, Bareback riding, Steer wrestling, Stage Racing, Bull Riding and Saddle Bronc Riding. There was also Wild Pony Wrestling which was very funny. It then pissed down for about an hour or 2. In the evening we watched the main show which included fireworks, it was very interesting and the lightning show in the background was great too, then we got pissed on again, so we drove home to camp.
