Lethbridge and Medicine Hat

Waking up in Lethbridge, the weather was wet and really cold - a real change from the previous two days. We managed to find Fort Whoop Up as we reported earlier and then hit the road en route to Medicine Hat. We stopped on the way at a road side coffee shop to warm up and ran in to another couple who were riding a Harley and were as wet and cold as us. It turned out Dave and Laura were from Medicine Hat and we started talking about this and that. Dave and Laura invited us to stay with them but because we were not sure what were going to do, and did not want to put them out, we stayed at a motel. However, we did have a great salmon dinner at their home, prepared by Laura. It must have been good, too because Ric, who does not like fish and especially salmon, had two helpings! Following dinner, Dave and Laura took us to a country and western concert - the Wilkinson's were in town performing and they were great, as you'd expect from a family band that has a number of No 1 hits on the US and Canada country charts. Dave and Laura are two extraordinarily generous people. We were sad we could not spend more time with them but we wanted to out run the weather - as if we could! We did get to see what we cam to see in Medicine Hat - the worlds biggest tipi. We have a photo.
