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.
