We are definitely leaving the boonies; there is actually traffic on the road, but this road is also getting straighter and the mountains are staying behind us.

At Grand Prairie, AB, after receiving e-mails from Erika and Sarah, we had four lanes all the way to Edmonton, AB. We also saw two dead moose on the road; must have been killed over night. There was also an accident with car and trailer turned over beside the highway; there was also a knapsack on the road at the accident site. Yes we are back in civilization.
We had no intentions at stopping at Grande Prairie, but when we saw

the huge sun dial and the architecturally very beautiful college we stopped to take some pictures. I could also do my banking from the visitor centre.

We drove close to Edmonton, to Spruce Grove: N 53º 32.400’   W 113º 55.984’
