Ok we are alive. We haven't had email capabilities for several days. This weekend we are Fairmont Hot Springs Resort in southern BC hoping to cure our ailments. Ha. We left Prince Rupert BC on Monday in the rain of course. We stayed one night in Smithers, BC after driving through the coastal mountains. They are beautiful even in the rain.We saw 4 bears along the highway. The next night as we continued east on Highway 16 to Prince George, BC. Of course it was rain along with some sun. We arrived in Jasper National Park after driving into the Canadian Rockies. Wow, what scenery and the sun came out. Lots of rushing rivers and lots of snow on the mountains. We stayed 2 nights in the national park campground in Jasper with elk running through it occasionally. Becca didn't seem too concerned. Believe it or not, the sun came out so we could really see these huge mountains. We took the tramway up to Whistlers Mountain. Then we attempted to hike up 1.5 KM up to the summit (another 1000 feet). However we only got about 3/4 of the way as the altitude affected us old people. We also stopped along to see waterfalls, and canyons. Again we hiked a bunch. We saw a bull elk only because Bill took a wrong turn. Yesterday, we left Jasper and drove through Jasper Nat. Pk, Banff Nat. Pk and Kootenay Nat. PK. We saw 4 bears, 1 moose, lots of deer, and 2 big bunches of big horned sheep. We stopped at the Columbia Ice field (which creates its own weather of wind and rain), waterfalls and others scenic areas along the way. We also mad a stop at Lake Louise. It looked just like the pictures.After this weekend we head toward Glaciar National Park in the good old USA. I am tried of paying $5.30 per gallon of gas.
