Empress straddles the Alberta Saskatchewan border not far from the point that the Red Deer River meets the South Saskatchewan. I didn’t walk over to 2nd Street East to take a selfie where the boundary sign shows that you can have one foot in Alberta and the other in Saskatchewan. I didn’t know that was a thing to do there!
We were looking for food and saw a sign by the turn off to Empress that said the restaurant was open. What we did not see was that the restaurant was in the Curling Club so we drove out of our way to Empress with our stomachs growling and all the way back in the same condition.
But I did get this shot of the cattle pens so it was worth it I guess!

The cows run on hundreds of acres all summer. The cowboys herd them up in the fall, drive them here, and then load them onto trucks. Ranchers would need to do cattle drives in the old days to bring the cows back home or to the train yards but this is easier now.
