YAY! Welcome Cassandra!
Love your video Cassandra and Tucker is way too cute! I am also very partial to ghost towns! It was interesting to see Drumheller in winter and the snow on the desert grass, not the typical photos -- thank you so much for sharing your adventures!
I love Drumheller! Fun little read.
Welcome Cassandra!
Welcome Casandra
My daughter and I didn't make it to Drumheller on our trip out west in the spring - this article was great to be able to catch-up on what we missed. Thanks and welcome Cassandra!
