Cochrane to Buffalo Jump AB

16C at 9am, sunny and breezy. Beautiful drive today, scenic outlooks to mountains foothills. Good road surface. Hwy 22 isn't well marked sometimes though, and it would be easy to miss a turn somewhere. We stopped in Black Diamond at a bakery, for cheesy buns and apple turnovers, all delicious.

 
The Best Jerky Around shop in Longview does have the best jerky we've had, really good. I got 4 packages, and wanted to buy more. In a nearby shop we also bought a limited edition print by Bernie Brown. Nicely matted and framed. Besides this trip, the picture is something special for our 40th anniversary year. The shop owner did a good job of convincing us that Longview would be a great place to live. The area southwest of Calgary along #22 is very appealing!

We had seen a listing for a Buffalo Plains RV park we liked. We really liked it, and stayed 3 nights. It's only a 5 minute drive from HSIBJ, which we plan to visit on the weekend.

It's near Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump (HSIBJ), where there are some special events on Sunday as part of a national Aboriginal Day celebration. The cg is 12 km outside Ft MacLeod.
