Well, I'm off to Calgary!  Got up earlier than I would've liked, got dressed, and headed out the door.  The drive was pretty good. I was a little worried about possibly falling asleep at some point, since I didn't get enough sleep and this was the fifth trip between Calgary and Chilliwack in about three weeks. The first few hours hardly had any traffic, and the sun was shining the entire way.  My car was so full, so it was a little heavy, which made for some slower climbs up the hills.  I saw some big horn sheep through Golden, which was the only wildlife I encountered.  I made some pretty good time, arriving in Calgary around 5pm Mountain Time... just in time for rush hour traffic.  It took me an hour just to make it from the highway to Lurline and Dave's house.  Here's a photo of my very full car - notice all the squashed bugs and dirt on my car.  It needs a good wash!
