Alberta

ALBERTA – Estado das mais variadas plantações

Nós entramos em Alberta por Grande Prairie, viajando na direção sudeste na 43. Paramos no  Centro de Informações Turísticas em Fox Creek, e chegamos ‘a cidade de Whitecourt onde passamos a noite no Alexis Tourism RV Park, ao lado do Cassino, que pertencem a Alexis Nakota Nation. De Whitecourt   fomos até a cidade de Edmonton, onde visitamos uma amiga querida na cidade de Spruce Grove e ficamos estacionados quase em frente ‘a sua casa.

Da área de Edmonton, seguimos sul ate a cidade de Calgary, famosa pelo se Rodeio anual. Aqui passamos a viajar pela 1. Em Alberta existe um grande número de parques provinciais, campamos no Tillerbrook Provincial Park, na cidade de Brooks. Chegamos a Medicine Hat – Cidade do Gás Natural, que tem muita Historia para contar.

A cidade de Medicine Hat recebeu seu nome a partir de uma lenda da palavra nativa “Saamis” que pode ser traduzida como “medicine man’s hat” – chapéu do curandeiro. Em 1883 a Ferrovia Canadian Pacific parou neste local a fim de construir uma ponte ferroviária sobre o Rio South Saskatchewan. Com a construção, surgiu um acampamento, levando o nome das inúmeras lendas dos povos nativos da região. A uma elevação nas proximidades foi dado o nome de Medicine Hat pelo Departamento do Interior, e nas escavações em busca de agua, acidentalmente descobriram fontes de gás natural ‘a oeste da cidade. Gerando assim a exploração que mapeou um dos maiores campos de gás natural da América do Norte, dando o “apelido” de “Cidade do gas”.

ALBERTA – Farming State

We entered Alberta through Grande Prairie, travelling southeast on 43. Stopped at the visitor Center at Fox Creek, and arrived in Whitecourt where we spent the night at Alexis Tourism RV Park, by the Casino – which belongs to the Alexis Nakota Nation. From Whitecourt we went to Edmonton where we visited a good friend from our town and stayed parked almost in front of her house at Spruce Grove. 

From the Edmonton area we went south through Highway 2 all the way to Calgary – famous for its Stampede. Here we started travelling through 1. Alberta has a big net of provincial parks, we camped at Tillerbrook Provincial Park, in the town of Brooks. Got to the city of Medicine Hat – “The Gas City”, which has much History to tell.

The city of Medicine Hat inherited its name from the native word “Saamis”, which is loosely translated as “medicine man’s hat”. In 1883, the Canadian Pacific Railway stopped to build a train bridge across the South Saskatchewan River. With the construction, a tent town was born taking the name from the numerous legends. A nearby hill was marked by the name Medicine Hat on a map of the Department of Interior the same year. In the CPR search for water, their drills accidentally struck natural gas west of town, heralding the exploration that mapped out one of the largest gas fields in North America, providing Medicine Hat with its moniker “The Gas City”
