Plotting a particular route can often require defining lots of intermediate points. Not so here where few alternate paths exist. It took just a single point to nail down the path from Moose Jaw to Calgary. The DeLorme assigned name for the point was simply the highway name, "1 W" (a.k.a. Trans-Canada Highway). I spent more than 400 miles (The GPS is displaying kilometers.) with "1 W" on a screen in front of me. I couldn't help but think of Carnac and Mr. Wagner which led to the name of today's journal entry.

All parking in the immediate vicinity of the tower was taken when I got there but I easily found a spot a couple of blocks away. I set off eagerly for the tower. I even took a cutesy picture of the restaurant sign in anticipation of eating there before discovering that the whole place had been booked for some sort of private party. No dinner with a view for me. The observation deck was open, however, and I made do with that. The view was clear and the scenery wonderful. That's the Saddle Dome and Stampede Park in the second picture and the Rocky Mountains in the third. The next picture is of a piece of the 16 kilometers of enclosed walkway that people use to get around town in the winter. The tower's height is given as 191 metres but I don't know if that is the observation deck or the top most point. Foe dinner, I settled for bangers & mash at a nearby Irish pub.
