Drumheller - hell of a place for bones

---

As we drove away from Calgary towards Drumheller, I told Anna to expect a sudden dramatic change from the miles of rolling prairies. She didn't believe me but there it was, Canada's own version of the Grand Canyon, the Badlands, with Drumheller inside its edge. Gary and Val took good care of us, treating us to Val's own pork ribs first evening, before we hit the fabulous Royal Tyrell Museum, dedicated to dinosaurs and the like, the next day. After lunch the heavens opened and there was a good inch or more of rain in a few short hours. We managed to get out early evening for a drive to the local hoodoos (rock formations) and visit to the Last Chance Saloon, in the ghost town of Wayne. Wayne was once a thriving coal mining town of 2000, now only 23 reside there. There was only time for a brief photos of the world's biggest dinosaur the next morning before leaving. Drumheller is highly recommended as a destination in Western Canada.
