OVC SC Temp -14C. Wind light northerly.
Left Gibbons at 0715 bound for Calgary. Made a quick stop for fuel at the ESSO then we pointed the Tacoma for home. Today marks the end in this tale for your author. Russ will have to make a long drive out to the coast solo, where no doubt Spring will be in full force.
Traffic is surprisingly light as we head out of town passing some of the carnage from Thursday's 100 Car pile-up on the QE2 What a difference two days can make. And so we make good time and join the Deerfoot, encountering traffic congestion not seen for 10 days. A flock of geese pass us heading North. No hurry guys, there's still plenty of Winter where you're going.
We make a quick stop to return the rented sat phone -cheap insurance really, as some of the others we encountered on the Mackenzie valley roads can attest to.
At 1115 our position registers, Lat 51 5'N Lon 114 5'W, and this is where I bow out. There's someone here who won't let me out of her sight for a long while.
And with that, Russ has to begin the long drive out to the coast solo. I don't envy that role, and hope it is uneventful for him.
