This has been the summer of weekend road trips for me.

We started out with a wedding in Calgary, then Drumheller, then mountain biking in Revelstoke, BC, and Cypress Hills Park.

It was wonderful to avoid the crowded major national parks. In Revelstoke we did not come across a single other biker or hiker on the trails. Just us and a whole lot of trees.It was so much fun having our own little tent city in the KOA campground. We were camped right under a cherry tree loaded with ripe fruit and an oak tree with cute little acorns. There were about 15 of us, all sharing meals swatting mosquitos off each other.
Ironically, it was just as hot in the mountains as it was at home in Medicine Hat. It was good to spend the hottest part of the day at the lake before a cooler evening ride.
