6 July 2010 - Drumheller AB,

Day 14

Today we woke to 13 C and hit a high of 25 C ; with sun all day. Sorry to hear that those of you in Ontario are in sweltering heat.

Today we started out by spending the morning at the Royal Tyrrell Museum; then

we went to Wayne AB to have lunch at the Last Chance Saloon; after that

we walked over the swinging bridge over the Red Deer River; then

we went to visit the Hoo Doos; later

we went to see the biggest dinosaur; then we went back for dinner and a rest; and last but not least

we went back to the museum to finish what we did not see when the crowds got too big.

And for those that didn't know; the namesake of the Tyrrell museum was Joseph Burr Tyrrell, and yes he is a relative of ours (he and I are 2nd cousins, twice removed). He was a geologist, not a paleontologist; be he did find the first dinosaur bones near Drumheller while he was searching for coal.
