The first leg of the prospecting vacation (less prospecting, more reconnaissance, too many places to dip a pan and the daughter won't stand for it, no one would, really, it's insane, I know, I know...). Edmonton, Peace River, Grande Prairie, Grande Cache, and then a long dusty wind along the trunk roads back. It's a big country, and these places I've not been for 30 years, awed by the scale of the coal mining, the Oil and Gas development, by the sheer impossibility of prospecting a single region of it, a full 4 months of summer would only touch upon a single area, I have easily a dozen to check...
The rest of the vacation, well, short notes beneath the images...
