Prelude: 

Over the past week, I’ve been attempting to digest the experience I had while sojourning through Alberta.  I’ve sat at my computer multiple times to type out a poignant reflection of the trip, but transcribing my thoughts into a coherent chronicle of the adventure has escaped me each time.  Maybe the post-vacation depression has set in and is clouding my thoughts.  I’m not really sure.  One thing I do know is that I need to start sharing the photographs I created now, or they won’t make their way out to the world for quite some time (I still haven’t shared photos from two previous road trips.) For now, these blog posts will be primarily photos with a few words here-and-there.  
Hopefully with time these posts will become more profound, as I feel like this trip was a life-altering one.
