For my 50th birthday we decided to really blow out the stops and go camping outside of Innisfail so we could visit a local cherry orchard. </irony> Only the crappy little campground was full up when we arrived there at 1 PM on a non-long-weekend Friday. Well screw you too, Red Lodge Provincial Park.
Our back up plan (unplanned) was to go to Tolman Bridge campground about 100 KM to the east. We actually really like that campground but we didn't have anything to do in the area so we just stayed one night. (Also, the neighbors were loud.) Saturday we drove home and stopped in Red Deer for a little ride.
From the tourist info / Sports Hall of Fame on highway 2 we rode the river path pretty much to the end, then came back on a country road (30th Ave). Very nice ride. The river valley is densely forested and varied and pretty. The country road back would have been excellent if it wasn't being repaved. We walked several kilometres beside giant bulldozers etc. feeling like we shouldn't have been there.
