On the way back from Pincher Creek

As mentioned before Pincher Creek is one of the most windiest cities - hence the photos of the wind farms!

Dinner at our Pincher Creek Hotel

All we could hear was the lady next to us, talking about her South American liposuction. Classy.

Pincher Creek

We spent our first night in Pincher Creek, where Shannon played some golf and was "attacked" by mosquitos. Shan did 9 holes in 70 minutes - he ran around the course!

Pincher Creek is known for being windy and hence there is a lot of wind farms in this area. The winds off the mountains are called "chinook winds" and is translated to mean snow eater winds. Basically the winds of the moutains are warm and melts the snow. The term is often used in Calgary - but to be honest Shan and I - think it is just wind, rather than "chinook winds". But hey what would the foreigners know?!? :)
