Tuesday July 19th dawned sunny and clear in East Coulee. It got really hot and the humidity made it feel even hotter. Unfortunately the hills were just too wet to consider going out for a hike.
In the morning I gave Frank a hand and we repaired a leaking seam on the roof of the building. The next rain will be the big test.
Later the girls and I drove down the valley to the ghost town of Dorothy. We used to camp here often when the girls were young. The old abandoned churches have now been restored, and the antique playground has been upgraded a little. But it still held much of its old charm. We wandered around for a couple of hours and reminisced.
Later we headed into Drumheller and got some ice cream and checked out some of the galleries and shops that had been closed the day before. In the evening we headed back out to East Coulee and had an evening BBQ and fire with Frank and Chris.
It dawned sunny and clear again on Wednesday, but this would be our last day in East Coulee this time around. We took a short drive up one of the nearby valleys and did a little exploring and climbing. Things had dried off nicely from the rain on Monday. By mid afternoon we somewhat reluctantly decided that it was time to hit the road for home.
