The plan for today was to only ride to Edmonton, so we were able to take our time getting there. It was just after 11 by the time we left Jasper, and by the time we left the National Park it was 2pm. We took the road up to Miette Hot Springs again, and had a little snack there. I talked one of the cleaning ladies into letting me see one of the bungalows, and it brought back memories of staying there as a kid. One of these years we will have to rent a bungalow there and spend a little time in the pool.
Leaving the mountains in the rear view was kind of sad again, after spending so much time in mountainous terrain the last few weeks. The ride from Hinton to Edmonton was pretty boring after all the good roads we've been on during our trip. We stopped for lunch in Edson, a very late lunch, and pulled up to our room in Edmonton right at 6pm.
Our meeting with the regional rep of CMA (Christian Motorcyclists Association) was a go for tonight after a quick phone call, and after a little time to relax in the room, we made our way to the east side of the city. It wasn't too long after 7:30 when the couple arrived, and the four of us chatted until 10:30. The chat was great, and it was really nice to meet with them and get a feel for the organization. I guess we will see what happens from here, and if the Lord wants us to be a part of that ministry.
Now it's time to get some rest and make the final leg of the trip home. It will be nice to be home, go to work and earn some money again, but I could easily keep traveling if time and money allowed.
