Jasper NP and southward Aug 5 2010

Had a beautiful morning to drive through Jasper and Banff National Park. The sun just breaking over the mountains gave us some breathtaking views.

















We then said goodbye to the Rockies and headed south. We saw fields of this bright yellow crop all through Alberta. Someone said it might be canola but I am not sure.

We put in long day so we could spend the night in U.S.A. Nancy was anxious to talk to the kids on the phone and we are tired of high Canadian gas and food prices although gas was lower here, $0.99/liter in Canmore and $0.95/liter south of Calgary.
We are spending the night in Shelby, MT , $32 for full hookups, cable TV ,WiFi and a pretty sunset.

Temps were in high 40s in Jasper this morning and low 80s in Montana. It is going to be hard to adjust to the heat.

  1. The heat has been hard to adjust to. I'm still cursing it and we've been home nearly 2 weeks! Safe travels!!
