Monday was our last day in East Coulee and we didn't have time to do a lot. We packed up the trailer and all of our stuff, and hit the road for home around lunch time. We did take a few minutes to go up for a short walk into the hills at East Coulee. The Prickly Pear cactus were starting to bloom. We found some old mine waste, and an interesting little canyon.
We took a little side trip out of the valley at Cambria and then back down at Rosedale. We discovered that the old wood tram tower at the Rosedale Mine had collapsed. I'm not sure how old it was, but probably 75 years, possibly 100 years old. It has been standing as long as I can remember, but sadly it is no more.
After that we headed through Drumheller and headed back towards Edmonton. We made a brief stop in Lacombe for a late lunch, and then made it back to the city by early evening.
