I had great plans to head out with Chris and Connie for a second day of exploring and photography on Sunday March 13th. When we got up on Sunday morning it was cold and blowing and there was a couple of inches of fresh snow on the ground. We made the best of it and headed out anyway. By the time we got out east of the city it was near White-Out conditions and we even had to put the truck in four wheel drive in some places. This time around all three of my girls decided to come along for the drive. It was a little cozy in the truck, but we made the best of it.
Our first stop was at an abandoned farm yard that I knew of. This was one of those places where all the stuff in the house was just left behind. Boxes and boxes full of stuff... mostly garbage. Old jars and bottles, newspapers, tractor parts, clothes and no end of stuff. We explored here for a while, and took a few snapshots, but it was just too miserable to take out the big camera and attempt any serious photography.
Later we continued on to the Shrine at Skaro. Chris and Connie had never seen a shrine and grotto of this size and were intrigued by it. Once again the poor weather did not permit any serious photography but we wandered around for a bit and took a few snapshots. It soon became evident that the weather was not going to improve and we gave up on any further exploration. We headed back into the city and went for lunch together. Chris and Connie had to head back to Calgary that afternoon. We parted ways after lunch, and look forward to getting together again sometime soon.
