We took some pictures of the Hoo-Doos, a rock, sand and clay formation in the Canadian Bad Lands.

Passing along the village of Dorothy, AB, I had to turn around to take a picture of the almost abandoned village. Only three houses were still occupied.

I have not mentioned the quality of the road surfaces, but driving in Alberta on a secondary road it was just perfect, very smooth surface so the tires were not making much noise, it was a pleasure to drive. As we crossed into Saskatchewan on the same class road it was so bad, I had to think I was driving from the west into the East German-Russian Zone. It took well over 50 km for the road to get better.

By the time we reached Swift Current, AB we stopped for the night: N 50º 18.455’   W 107º 46.640’
