Try Canmore.... Very cool little town in the mountains with a local healthcare facility.
... But then I have to put my beer in the fridge
$5 might buy you about three shovel fulls of snow in this day and age. :lol:
I spent a few years up there on the powerline row's. The road from Nakiska through spray lakes is awesome.
Lots of bunny rabbits in Canmore.
It's slowly turning into another Banff.
A view down the river from in the town:
A short 30 minute walk up the mountain.... Take my word for it, although this is a good pic, it doesn't come close to doing justice.
No doubt... It's getting pretty expensive there these days
Barrier lake dam last year.
Trans Canada hiking trail across from Exshaw and right above highway #1

To each their own Goobs.
Now, if he was talkin' about Sundre, Water Valley or locations in and around there, I'd be on the same page

How about Trochu,Elnora or big valley?
Maybe Monarch?
Not many I havent lived in while building leases or pipelining.
All nice areas to be sure.
My personal preference is in the foothills, that's just my thing.
Ever go for a burger and beers at the Bearberry Inn?
I'm in the pass,Banff before the citifolks moved in.
I think I have stayed in every town south of Camrose and red Deer.That's just Alberta.
I dont even want to mention fort crack.
No such thing as a home when working leases and pipelines.
With the work you do, home is a half ton on many occasions... If you're lucky, you don't have to sleep in it too often. Comfortable seats, but wrecks havoc on the lower back
No one can get charged with murder in Trochu or Elnora because they all have the same DNA,big valley has the creationists and their museum and monarchs just plain full of nutbars.
heh heh!
I have the seats down in my crewcab and a mattress and sleeping bag back there.kick the computer and printer out of the way and it's home.

I've been there... Any time I worked in Fox (f*ckin) Vegas, I never made it into town before all the rooms were snapped-up... Slept in that truck in the passanger seat too many times
My buddys in Wainwright for a few more months and he was also the main renter for our house in Sask.So we moved out last week and i,m not looking forward to hoteling when I go back,mostly because if they dont have a room shes sleeping in the truck for a few days.
At least you get to pocket the sub that way.
Not for everyone and definately not a family oriented life.peeps think it's easy money.after awhile it becomes your life,the peeps at camp become your familly.
same thing in the Arctic,after a few years their the only people you are close with.
when I was managing melidianne camp north of Rankin I would get one driller a week that would come see me in my office and need to go home,they had every kind of excuse but I just saw seperation anxiety and would have them on the first chopper out.
We footed the bill and she was $1500.00 one way to the airport and home for them.
The crowsnest pass where i live is as nice as Banff or Canmore,just no industry unless you want to work in the mines over in B.C.
Health care professionals here travel all over Alberta where needed to work.
Ten years ago I was on a waiting list for a family doctor,now I can go to a walk in clinic and see a doctor in 5 minutes.
