Had a great sleep and breakfast in the Kitchen. Couldn't get in touch with Frank.
Started the day in nice sunshine for my search of Edmonton
for the Great White North Geotour.
Wall outside the entrance to the HQ Building
Memorial to members that have died
One of the clues brought me to the home of the Edmonton Oilers
This fellow had something to do with hockey
There was supposed to be a monument here that I had to get info from.
Construction site. - The security knew nothing about it.
The Site Office said it was removed 2 weeks ago. Check building.
First check - never heard of it. Went to the administration office and after a 30 minute wait,
a worker showed up and brought me to a room under the stands and we found the monument.
From the admin office I got a good view of the Edmonton Football stadium
This is what I was looking for
Survey marker - Another clue
Info on Monument - Another clue
Inspite of the fence, I could just make out the information I needed
Another clue at the West Edmonton Mall
Near site of the final clue - Two down, eight plus one to go. On to Regina.
This one took 46.91km and 2:57:38 hours on the bike and in total over 6 hours.
Typical scene around Edmonton - Oil Refinery - Train Tracks and Grain elevators
About 10 km outside Edmonton - Broke the chain - Must be too much power
Was able to fix it but ended up full of grease and oil.
I went in here looking for a campsite, but it was closed.
Where the buffalo roam...
Home for the night. It was raining for the last hour or so of the day's ride.
