May 25 - Day 19 to Blairmore

Accommodation last night ❤️❤️❤️❤️


Truck in Sparwood


Welcome to Alberta!!!!  

 I’m back in Alberta!!!!  Feels like I’m back home….back into familiar territory for sure!  I’m spending the night in the Mazzolini’s amazing cabin….they did everything possible to ensure I would be at home here….its amazing!!!

Today was my last day in the big mountains, and the views did not disappoint, such a gorgeous ride today.  Challenging because it was uphill most of the way….mostly a continuous slight uphill with hills interspersed.  I did love the challenge….but I also loved arriving early.  I stopped at a little store called take away….so many yummy things, I picked up some pulled pork, corn salad, crackers and three deserts!  I haven’t been eating much so today I will make up!  

I cried a lot today….clearing out those tear ducts….first saying goodbye to my nieces after an amazing camping night together, then I was singing Alberta Bound for about an hour before the sign….and just as I arrived at the Welcome to Alberta sign….so did my nieces!!!  What a nice surprise.  All the nice texts.   Then at the cabin….Angela and Justin are so kind and amazing ….thank you!!!  

Right now I’m soaking in the tub….checking out my legs and this weird suntan I have going on….I think I need more sunscreen!!!!  On the top I have a very thin long sleeved hoodie that I use to cover my ears, shade my face, and cover my arms.  But I really don’t want to wear pants….so I’ll need to slather on more sunscreen I guess!  

So have a good evening…..tomorrow is another day😀😀😀

Way to go Lucille!! Your blog made me cry today. Crying tears of happiness and relief that you are through the mountains! Tears of just how proud I am of you as a person and of your accomplishments, and following your dreams. Tears of empathy because you were crying your own tears. Ron and I think of you first thing every morning and last thing every night, and watch you throughout the day. Looking forward to seeing to seeing you work your way across Alberta in the next few days! Sending lots of love to you!
