Day 344 July 14 2015
Oyen Alberta
We took it easy in the
morning relaxing in the park and the kids played in the nearby river. David caught a garter snake and brought it
into the camper to show his mom. When he
walked into the camper he announced “snake in the camper” which was followed by
Evy not so calmly saying “get it out, get it out, get it out now!”. There were quite a few rattle snakes in the
area so I was hoping that David would be careful and not grab one by
mistake. We went on a guided tour to a bone bed at 1:30
pm. The tour was interesting as the
guide explained how the region was formed and why there are so many fossils
there. Once we reached the bone bed
which is a deposit of bones from hundreds of different dinosaurs we had an
opportunity to explore the area. The
scenery of the badlands is very pretty and was well worth the effort it took to
drive there. We left the park and headed
2 hours towards Oyen where we camped for the night.
