Fernie April 6/21

 ROAD TRIP!

We left town at 0850 this morning for an approximate 6 hour drive to Fernie B.C. to return a mountain bike  (that I had chosen not to purchase) to Lisa's friend .

We had a beautiful blue sky trip down and by mid afternoon we were in Fernie and had delivered the bike.

After a consultation by phone with Lisa about hiking spots we made an attempt on a mountain trail but too much ice remained making it dangerous in our street shoes. 

We relocated to a trail along the river at Lisa's recommendation which was perfect.

A nice walk enjoyed by many people.

 Yup, two people floating down the river. The one fellow said only his hands were frozen. The temperature outside was 13 degrees, but the water,-BRRRR!!

We drove back to Blairmore rather than stay in BC because due to covid restrictions BC doesn't allow inside dining in their restaurants whereas Alberta still does (until Friday).

Our meal in the Kanata Inn attached restaurant was FANTASTIC! It was Italian food main course followed by homemade gelato.
