Rolling down Highway 501.
Map - Milk River to the Historic Reesor Ranch Late summer in the ranch lands Antelopes along the 501 The Pendant d'Oreille site A stop in Manyberries Driving through the Cypress Hills west to east The horses at Reesor RanchWe continued our travel from Milk River east along AB Highway 501. The word highway is used somewhat loosely here; it is for a long stretch just a gravel road albeit with good signage.
We stopped at Pendant d'Oreille to see the Redeemer Lutheran Church and the Community Centre.
A little further down the 501, we took a side trip to Manyberries. Cute street names.
Finally, we reached Highway 41. It was a short trip into Elkwater for an ice cream and then over to the Reesor Ranch for the night.
It was pitch dark with no moon and a clear sky when we went outside of our cabin around 11 pm. The stars were incredible. We had not seen the Milky Way for years. It was amazing.
