Into the "badlands" of Drumheller!
Watch your toes... he likes plastic.
The Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology was our Drumheller destination on Sunday August 12. Turns out about 2000 other people had the same idea. Half of them were under age 12. Half of those were under age 4 and in strollers. I felt like I might become a fossil while waiting to get up to an exhibit to read about it.The museum is oustanding, as far as design and content goes. High time in the summer pays the bills but doesn't allow for the fullest experience. As we were advised, it makes more sense to camp in the area for a few days, and then visit the museum for 2 or 3 shorter visits on off-peak days. Oh well, we didn't have that flexibility.
Afterward we found ourselves a nice restaurant in town, Yaris Family Restaurant, and enjoyed a good meal with good service. It's amazing what one experienced waitress can do when fully committed to serving the customers. There were two others on duty, but I only saw the older one working. She said under her breath once, "My helpers aren't helping!"
