Yahk Park to Medicine Hat AB

7C and smoky at 7:45 am, it was up to 10C by 11 am when we stopped in Fernie BC, a pretty outdoor-adventure type of tourist town. We stopped at a place for a bagel, then went back and bought some more to go.

The smoke was quite thick around Pincher Creek / Ft MacLeod area, and up to 29C, as we continued to follow hwy 3 towards Medicine Hat. By 4:45 we were camped at Medicine Hat town campground, sunny and smoky, $28, 28C. 

On the way we had passed through Lethbridge AB, a dirty-seeming town with a pervasive petroleum smell in the air (likely the smell of money to the locals). Medicine Hat was a nice contrast to that, lots of grass and clean air. MH also had a large-scale solar steam generator farm right next to the cg.
