Thursday - September 22, 2011

Left for Fort McMurray this morning around 9. The drive is about 500 km on a mostly single lane road. As I left Edmonton passed by this temple which was quite attractive. Reminded me somewhat of the temple off the 427 in Toronto although a lot more colour. As I drove north on Hwy 63 the truck traffic going north increased and there were a lot of large trucks carrying equipment to the oil sands. The road was under construction in several places and had to wait for quite some time for the line to move as it was single lane. Passed an interesting sign along the way providing some history to the Northern Alberta.

Further north there was some farmland and then it was trees all the way to Fort McMurray. Got to Fort McMurray around 4 and had a coffee at Tim's before going over the Alex and Jill's house as they did not get home until around 5:30.
