Friday, July 15, 1983; Hythe, Alberta

We cooked up some Hamburger Helper under the hood of the car at a pull off the highway west of Saskatoon.  We drove until 12:00 midnight Mountain Daylight Time, just past the border into Alberta.  We were tired, so we just laid our sleeping bags out on the ground next to the car and slept until about 6:30 or 7:00 this morning.  

It is obvious we are going north.  When I left Philadelphia, the sun was setting at about 8:30 and rising, by my best estimate, at about 5:30.  By the time we got to Davidson, the sun was setting about 9:15 Central Standard Time, and it was not dark until about 10:45.  Last night we saw the sun set at about 9:30 MDT, but still saw a glow in the sky, almost due north, at 12:30 this morning.  The sun was up again by about 5:00, rising in the northeast.  I suspect that there was a glow on the horizon for most, if not all, of the night.

I took a picture at the Handee Mart in Hythe at 8:30 pm MDT.
