I know this has nothing to do with hunting, fishing or trapping, but I thought it something you would like to see if you haven't already. The following is a site for the Southern Alberta Balloon Lanuch Experiment (SABLE) #3 which this summer successfully launched a weather balloon to the edge of space (117,597 feet) with a cargo of a digital camera and other gear to record the ascent and decent. The pictures are fantastic and really give you a perspective on the world from east of Edmonton. Give it a look! The site does take time to load the pictures (especially if you are on dial-up) but the wait is worth it. You can also click for larger images.
