June 10 overcast in morning in Drumheller. Today we go to the Royal Tyrrell Museum-Dinosaurs. The best museum We have ever been into. The Red River valley has one of the richest fossil deposits in the world. Dinosaurs that once roamed Alberta, are now showcasted . More than 35 skeletons and lifelike models were displayed. The collection is housed on severallevels reached by a series of ramps. took some great pictures. I will download them tonight. We spent just about 4 hours there. I wanted to see the HooDoos and the Badlands so off we go. The Visitors center first where a 80' tall T-Rex stands. Next we take Bleriot ferry,one of the only 7 cable ferries still in use.It can take only 15 cars at a time. then we walk across a swinging bridge where a coal mind used to be. We also go to the Atlas coal mine. We come back to thr RV park exhausted and take a nap.
