"The crappy weather and rough roads the previous days did some damage to my trailer wheel bearings"

The ride to Taber went pretty well. The roads were wet from the previous day and even though it looked like I was going to get trapped in another storm, it never ended up happening. The crappy weather and rough roads the previous days did some damage to my trailer wheel bearings. I ended up stopping in at a shop in Lethbridge where they kindly gave me a stand to use and let me fix everything up. By the time I got out of the shop it was getting late and the weather was starting to look pretty crappy. I made it into Taber around 6:15 and found a camp spot just outside of town.

As soon as I started setting up my tent a couple that was camping near by came over and invited me to their camp site for some food. We had a good meal, some good conversation, and I packed it in early to get a good start for the next day.


Is it going to rain or not? Leaving Pincher Creek
