We just found this site. Bookmarking this information for our next vacation. Can't wait !

  Thank God there are still cowboys in the world!  Tough, hard-working guys -- real men.   I came across this fellow I'll call "Roy" at the Bar U Ranch  in Alberta.  The Bar U is a Canadian Historic Site that every summer...

Samantha and her husband saw this cute ranch with a unique feature while driving from Grand Lake to Lake Granby.

Gumbo was visiting the historic Bar U Ranch National Historic Site, once one of the largest ranches in Canada. The ranch preserves buildings and the historic period when large herds of cattle roamed the prairies, before they were fenced in.

Dexter is a pet bull who lives on Alberta's plains. He is quite a character!

Samantha and her husband had a great time in Amarillo, Texas and share some of the local hot spots.

DrFumblefinger shares some photos taken this week while driving the scenic Cowboy trail in western Alberta.

Is Dexter fully grown now ? How old is he ? He looks brave enough to tackle a cold winter. Does he get shelter from the snow ?

Hi Garry, I think I can answer most of your questions. Dexter is fully grown. He does well in winter and does not need special shelter. The same is true of most cattle in Alberta. They develop a thick warm coat that protects them from the cold. Unlike most bulls, which have a very foul temper, Dexter is sweet natured with his humans. Perhaps we'll need to ask Dr Jon to share a video of him taking Dexter for a walk.

Maybe Dr Jon could stand close by for a photo ? Give Dexter some perspective. Or lean his bicycle against the fence ! He certainly looks like an economy sized Aberdeen Angus - Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for showing us another great stop in California! Unbelievable how many great roadtrips one can take in that state alone.
