Spent the morning in Calgary getting some emissions valve replaced. I love Mercedes-Benz dealerships. No charge because it was under warranty. I made a brief stop at Blackfoot Crossing Heritage Park before heading further east to find a place to park before the big rain comes.

I stopped by a horse show to watch my sister ride, then met my high school BFF for coffee before finding a place to park for the night. Mechanic appointment on Friday morning and I have 7 restarts left.

A day of engine lights and mechanics but I can wait until I get to a big city for the leaky valve replacement. *Sigh but what's a road trip without something??? I do have a lovely mountain view for my overnight stop.
Two mountain peaks, the one on the left is pointy and the other is flat. Glacier in between.
