I’ve Arrived!
It was a little slow when it was only a single lane past Virden. But good news is that they are working constantly on dividing the highway, so there will be only a minimal amount of single lane highway. As I was driving there was a sand truck that turned into my lane so I moved over into the other lane (on coming traffic) and was beginning to pass him. I looked ahead and saw some cars coming, so I sped up a little. As I was turning back into my lane, I cop was coming the other way, started to put his flashers on, and signalled with his hand to slow down. What was I doing wrong? I guess it’s wrong to pass trucks?
After the highway finally went back to divided it was smooth sailing. At 110 km you go at least 120, so the time really flies by. I hit Swift Current around 1 pm and saw that it was just over 500 Km to Calgary. I figured what the hell, might as well make it in one day.
On the way into Calgary I missed the turn off and started to head into NE Calgary. Knowing that I missed the turn, I went down 52nd St E all the way down to where I was supposed to come out. All was good in the end and I phone Elena as I was driving. I met up at her house (while trying to navigated the Bridalwood area). After about 5 minutes, I finally found it.
So that’s the trip. Wasn’t all that bad. Now to try and get settled.

[...] It was good to finally get back to Gull Lake for the long weekend. As last year I had just arrived in Calgary I had to skip out on the annual festivities. [...]
