Coffee Break: A nice video of Alberta, Canada

[KirkD]

Here it is boys. Figured those of you stuck in the city might like to take a short break. Lean back with a coffee, put your feet up, and enjoy yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=ThFCg0tBDck

To cold for me I like my swamps heat and mosquitoes thank. But it is nice when its warm up there. Being a Florida cracker I see a lot of license tags from Alberta, Canada in the winter months. Thanks for the nice video.

I love western and prairie Canada. My sister married a Canadian and has lived in Edam, Sask for over 35 years now. Beautiful country in the summer when I have been there. I helped drive truck during the wheat harvest a few different years when I have been there. Up at 6 am and they are still running the combines at 11:30 pm. Drive the truck from field to the grain bins and run the auger to get it up in. Come to think about it never got much recreation when I was there, but I had a ball helping out. Now the winters at 40 below might be a different story. Never been east of Sask so I can't comment on that part.

By gum, I know a fellow from Edam, Saskatchewan. It's not a very big place. Was his last hame LaClare?

Holy Carp Kirk,

Yep. I grew up with Cree Indians (went to school with them, worked with them on my Dad's farm, and an Indian neighbour my age was one of my buddies).

As for whether Canadian girls are really that pretty, I suspect there was some selection going on for that particular video, but some are even prettier ..... like the one I married who is none other than The Queen of Hearts. If you want to see more Canadian girls, my sister wrote a song about them that is on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NewavYMHN9Q

I had the same experience with the Mescalero, except we did NOT go to the same school.
Seems the government had a different plan.

[Mescalero]

I remember you writing about the song when it was first released.
I don't remember the video.

Thanks mate, that was beautiful

[Old Savage]

Nice!

[Bill in Oregon]

If I could see some of that AND fool around with trains, I'd be in heaven ...

Very nice. We spend the 6 months of winter in Yuma and it seems half of Alberta must be down there with us. Several of the folks shoot in our gun club, always interesting to listen to the tales of what all they have to go through to get their rifles and shotguns back and forth across the border.

Canada is a nice place to visit. And, that was one of the best tourism videos I've ever seen. Gotta get back up there.

[Ysabel Kid]

I like that must be a video of heaven...

Thanks !!! Very refreshing after seeing all the urban sprawl around Oakville and Guelph this last week.

[Win94]

Just to add to Kirk's video, have been in Alberta for 40 years and hunting it for a large part of those years. Its beautiful country.....

[KirkD]

Great photos! I'll be in Alberta in less than two weeks for a family reunion and wedding (Sherwood Park).

[rjohns94]

Very nice. Leaving next Friday for a week there. Looking forward to it.
