The Royal Tyrrell Museum is probably the best museum I've ever been to. Completely unapologetic, fully scientific presentations on evolution, Earth's history, extinction, and it even ends with a powerful statement on climate change. With the added bonus of many children (and some adults...perhaps me...) completely losing their minds over cool dinosaurs. WOW.
Definitely go to this museum if you're ever anywhere near Alberta!!
My trusty Saskatchewan travel mug (which I got for being in a Sask tourism video shoot), held many flat whites while I was visiting New Zealand. But now it's returning to the real Flat White: Saskatchewan. The #ProfSamLectureTour will be fully completed by the end of the day today.
#BabyGoatCountdown is at 7 days!
I AM HOME!!
I am covered with dog hair and cat hair and goat hair and snow and everything is good. I am so grateful to everyone who made it possible for me to go on this trip (especially the farm sitter! He did an amazing job!)
And I'm so happy to be home!
My daughter’s cat used to great is so reliably, I though she could trigger an alarm: if she stayed hidden when the door opens, call the cops.
@BenHM3 My friend's cat would welcome you when you get home, then shun you for a few days for leaving. Traitor!
Welcome home!
WOOHOO!!!
It has been so much fun to watch your tour, but I'm happy you're home - it must feel good!
I've loved following your tour in Aotearoa but blimey I've missed these big, wide-open-skies-and-lands photos! 🤗
Roll on 7 days to baby goat time! 😃👏🙂
@sundogplanets I had family in Drumheller when I was a kid, so we used to go regularly. Such amazing memories, that place is incredible!
Drumheller itself it also beautiful, that drive into town through canyons.. just so damn cool
@sundogplanets I love to hear this!! I did a project in a Uni class (management) last year on the Royal Tyrrell and hope to visit one day. It’s a life goal… that and seeing all of the Drumheller area. :)
I’m so happy you enjoyed it!!
Agreed. I went several times when I lived in Alberta.
Now I worry that the UCP could defund it for teaching evolution.
Sigh.
In case anyone isn't worried, Sam Lawler's post was immediately followed by this in my timeline:

Is it nice enough to take a walk in the trails? Our first visit there a kid discovered a dinosaur where there was some post rain erosion trickling.
@sundogplanets The Tyrrel does digs, get your hands dirty …
