Mark wants to know........
For you, Mark:
From your post at:http://pakulakmadness.blogspot.com/
When I visit, your site meter will say Red Deer Alberta, which is the closest urban area to me.
Red Deer, a fast growing city of 80,000, is well known for it's beautiful park and trail systems. If you hopped in a canoe on the river which divides the city North and South, you would reach my doorstep in about 5 hours.
I live on 4 acres, the river is my backyard. You can see it on my snapshot link.
Although I love the canoe trip. I usually travel by car, so when I go "to town", it takes about 20 minutes to get to Red Deer, unless I get behind a farmer.
Alberta is the most affluent province in Canada, debt free with budget surpluses.
We are boomin' baby.
Our landscape in Central Alberta is glorious, pristine untouched parks and land as far as you can see.
I love where I live.

Alberta's Heartland is a colourful mix of farms, forests, rivers and vibrant growing communities such as Red Deer, Rocky Mountain House and Camrose. Historically, agriculture has been the lynchpin of the local economy, a legacy that lives on at guest ranches scattered throughout the area. Rivers too played a major role in the immediate years after first contact between First Nations and explorers. Today, the waterways have lost their role as a transportation corridor, but they remain a vital part of the landscape for visitors and locals alike. Drifting down the Red Deer River in the summer on a canoe is a popular way to enjoy the scenery, absorb a few rays of warm sunshine and even catch a few fish. On the region's lakes, water-skiing, swimming and sunbathing consume long summer days at resort communities like Sylvan Lake. In winter, outdoor enthusiasts turn their attention landwards to nearly endless snowmobile trails and cross-country skiing.
Come visit yall.

That sounds and looks beautiful! Thanks. I have actually heard of Red Deer before. I used to live in Spokane, Washington and watched minor league hockey including the Red Deer Rebels. Don't know if that is still their name. Looks like a wonderful place to live. Thanks Hopey!
We have seasons tickets to our Rebels.
Yep, it's beautiful alright. Having been through most (not all) of your gigantic country as a truck driver, Alberta and British Columbia offered some of the prettiest scenery. Spring, Summer and Autumn are gorgeous but you guys got one long assed winter. (I can be a bit of a sissy when it comes to cold weather.)
Wow I want to come visit! Thanks for sharing, guess it is my turn. LOL
It sounds beautiful. But I remember those pictures of snow. You can fool me into thinking it is always so wonderful. he he he
I am with Wadical. I just don't do snow well. My brother's wife is expecting a baby in August. I'm thinking I'd sure like to visit. They live in St Anthony, Idaho. So only Montana would separate us!
So visit in the summer ya wimps!
wow another awesome place to live :D
I've been to Alberta 4 times in the last year (including twice in Red Deer), and will probably be back this summer! Yes, it's a beautiful place. But I'm still a little partial to Manitoba. :-)
Sounds lovely!
