June 8-12, 2008

Sunday - June 8th
We toured Banff and Lake Louise. So beautiful!!! Of course, the only wildlife we saw was hawks, foxes and coyotes. We had planned to go the alternate route to Dawson Creek thru the Banff NP but it is $20.00 extra a day to camp in the park. Although it is very pretty, with the weather we decided to go the most direct route.
Banff is a quaint little town with lots of atmosphere. We tried Canadian Mexican food....VERY DIFFERENT. Haven't every had celery in burritos before.

Monday - June 9th
We toured Calgary. It is a big. big city with lots of sky scrapers. We went thru the NWMP historical site. Saw the Olympic Park. In the winter you can use the facilities.....we don't have that level skills.

Tuesday - June 10th
RAIN, RAIN, RAIN and MORE RAIN!!!!!!! We didn't do anything today. Just stayed inside.

Wednesday - June 11th
More rain but we left anyway. On to Whitecourt. Nice little town with SUNSHINE!!!! The farther north we went, the better the weather.

Thursday - June 12th
On to Dawson Creek, BC and 0 mile. This is the start of the Alaskan Highway. We have seen so many beautiful big farms. I love barns and there are so many great ones in this part of the country. Tomorrow, onward and upward!
