Stopped in Red Deer to get a bit of a charge and to stretch our legs... It was a pretty busy place :) |

Pretty much anytime I go to Edmonton, I stay at the same Four Points by Sheraton hotel, because of the location and because they have nice electric car chargers. Here is a behind the scenes look of Oliver taking a photo of me in the parking lot :) |

We quickly unpacked, had a bite to eat, and got back on the road to Elk Island National Park. I really wanted a coffee and with temperatures dropping it never hurts to top up your car as well... Very quick charging speed at over 950km/h. |

We drove around Elk Island National Park for awhile looking for buffalos and Tracy and Oliver would think that every dark spot in the trees was a buffalo that needed to be investigated. |

Today the weather really took a turn for the worse.. Snow storm, with very low temperatures, strong winds, and some road closures. This is the reason I always buy the best winter tires possible. |
