We went through Calgary and I could see Cassi’s face in. everyone. It is too bad we didn’t connect with her. We entered the Canadian Rockies into Banff, beautiful. Found a quiet campsite on Two Jacks Lake, pristine, clear water. It was rainy and a bit chilly, so we drove the next day to Jasper. Unbelievable drive, through snow capped mountains, with views I cannot describe. Rivers, MTs, canyons. IT is hard to believe that Alaska will be more beautiful. Banff is a big ski resort, so lots of tourists, hotels, ect, ect. But the setting is magnificent. And it is so close to Calgary.
On to Jasper where it is a bit warmer and less rainy. On route through Ice Fields National Park we saw 3 big horn sheep in the road, stopped all traffic, they could care less about humans. Every bend in the road we were awestruck with unbelievable views. Elk are calving, so we hope to see some, we have seen adults. Males of all species have dropped their antlers, so harder to tell males from females. No caribou yet.
We are following the weather now, seems to be warmer closer to British Columbia, so tomorrow we will head there I think unless it warms up here.
Today is Dylan’s birthday, he is 6 years old! Hardly can believe it! I talked with him and he is doing great, got a new bed and excited about his new watch and books from us. What a bright and energetic little boy he is.
We plan to go to Prince George and the Cassier highway. We payed over $100 American dollars today to fill the gas tank! Yikes!!!! We hope it gets better when we get out of the National Parks.
