Day 16, Tue, Jun 19, 2007 Elk Island National Park, Alberta, Canada to Karen and Mark Ramstead's in Perryvale, Alberta, Canada

We woke up to a beautiful sunny chilly morning in the park. After breakfast we headed north to Lamont and dumped our tanks at their public dumping station since the park had absolutely no hookups or even a dumping station. From there we drove into Fort Saskatchewan and stopped at a Safeway and bought some steaks to take to the Ramsteads. They also had a filling station so we topped off the tank at $1.034 per liter (about $3.77 per gallon if I’m figuring correctly). We finally made it to Karen and Mark’s around 3:00 PM. What a great feeling to be in the presence of an Iditarod musher. For those that do no know, Karen has run the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog race seven times and plans to run again next year (2008).
