After breakfast on the morning of Monday November 13th we all packed up our gear and checked out of the hotel. It was snowing very heavily and it appeared as though photography would not be an option on this day. Steve and I took a quick drive up the Pyramid Lake Road. The snow was beautiful on all the trees but the sky was heavily overcast and none of the peaks were visible. We elected against dragging out any of our gear.
We made a quick coffee stop in town and then reluctantly hit the road for home. To our surprise the snow quit as we got a short distance northeast of town and by the time we got to the park gate, there was no accumulation, and nothing coming down.
Eventually we made a stop at an abondoned cement plant in Yellowhead County. By this time the skies were breaking up and the light was really nice. We met up with the others here and spent a couple of hours taking photographs.
Steve and I pushed on before the others and made a stop in Edson to check out the Commodore Tavern as a potential site for the Beer Parlour Project. We had a couple of cold ones here, and got a laugh when we noticed that the condom machine in the men's room also sold "Fuck Trudeau" stickers for two bucks. I should of bought one, but didn't have a toonie handy. There were some interesting characters in the bar and I made a mental note that the place might be worthy of a return visit.
The rest of our drive back to Edmonton was uneventful. I dropped Steve off at his place around 6:00 and made it back home to the girls and Hank by 6:30.
This turned out to be yet another fantastic Fall Photo Weekend and I already look forward to doing it again next year.
