Back in October 2014, I knew that if I was going to make myself drive north of the city, I had better do it straight away, before more snow arrived. So, on 28 October, I plucked up courage and drove "to parts unknown". Actually, part of the drive was along familiar roads but the rest was exploring.
I had intended leaving home around 9:00 am, but it ended up being 11:00 am. I had only been driving maybe 40 minutes before I pulled over for the first thing. I couldn't take my eyes off one particular cloud - actually more like a stack of clouds. A car turned off along the gravel road shortly after me, and the young guy with a camera commented about the beautiful lenticular cloud. That is exactly what I had thought it might be, so I was really pleased. We don't get to see them very often.
Continuing my drive north, I managed to get as far as the town of Didsbury before I knew I just had to turn around and head for home, coming back via Water Valley and Grand Valley Rd/Horse Creek Rd. Saw quite a few Magpies, three or four Crows and one Gray Jay, lol. Other than that - oh, and one Hawk perched high up on a power pole along a busy road - I saw no wildlife at all. That was fine, though, as this trip was more about looking for barns. During the seven hours that I was out on the road, I did manage to find several barns that caught my eye. It was good to see that someone had added a new roof to protect this old barn. Total driving distance was 322 km.
