June 14 - Ft. Macleod to Grassy Lake

Bike log: 141.5 km, 390m of vertical, average speed 29.3 km/h

We are staying in a place called Grassy Lake, but we could not find a lake. There is, however, plenty of grass! The towns are pretty few and far between here (not unlike coming through BC), so there was not much choice. It is a nice little town, though, as have been all of the towns we have passed through in Alberta. I don't know whether this is true for other parts of the province or not, but it seems like the small towns we've passed through in Alberta are in better shape than the ones in BC. A little better taken care of, a little more alive. In BC it seems that you see more towns with run down buildings or mud pits full of busted down cars in the front yard once you get out of the bigger towns. But maybe we have just not hit the "right" places here!
