We finally caught up with
our HMC friends just in time for
"Happy Hour" and cocktails
Edmonton, Alberta
The City of Edmonton is Alberta's Capital City.
Situated in Central Alberta and accessible easily by air, rail or highway, Edmonton is a great destination any time of year.
Both visitors and residents alike enjoy the expansive park system along the North Saskatchewan River, with its wonderful trails and picnic areas.
Edmonton's size and geographic position make
it a major gateway to the Canadian North and Alaska.
NOTE: For clarification.... the members of our group all own
an HMC (Hawkins Motor Coach)
Once we visited the West Edmonton Mall, it was time
to say goodbye to all our HMC Club friends and continue our journey.
We still have a week of vacation left and a lot to see.
Next stop.... The Candian Rockies
and Vancouver, British Columbia
