"Roadtripping" documents a decade of road trips through the fiefdom
of Alberta. The men and women who make up the Buffalo Gals first
set out in July 1999 to experience the unusual and charming
roadside attractions of south-central Alberta. Never dreaming that
this one-off adventure would turn into an annual event, it's ten
years later and they continue their escapades. Each year a new
destination is chosen and the weekend-long travel begins.
Traditions have evolved including elaborate scrapbooking, eating in
gourmet dining rooms (when available) and excessive snacking
(without fail). Beyond the joys and challenges of being on the road
and a deepening bond of friendship, this book is a love poem to
Alberta, a province often misunderstood and mislabelled as being
the right-wing cowboy haunt of Canada. With trip route maps,
hilarious photos, and appendices including checklists and recipes,
"Roadtripping" explores the bizarre and wonderful attractions of
wild rose country, stuffed gophers, political fanaticism, mad cows
and more.
Based on the novel by Bruce Allen Powe, 'The Aberhart Summer' is a
dark 'coming of age' story where desperation, secrets and tragedy
affect the lives of the people in an Edmonton neighbourhood during
the Depression. Throughout the novel, Doug Sayers recalls his
teenage years and the time of crisis surrounding the mysterious
death of his best friend. Bruce Allen Powe meshes fact with fiction
in this tale of politics and passion.
