The 17 Hour Detour :


This is as you enter the Banff National Park. I took Robbie and Rocco on a "small" detour home to Cold Lake. Little did we know how long it would take to get there.










After leaving Moose Jaw and High River we had a small buffet on the front of our car for the wildlife to have a feast on. This was a very large creepy bird having a great feast off our car.



















We got slightly lost on our way and were headed into B.C. After leaving Lake Lousie the road signs are not very well marked to go to Jasper.








Isn't this place pretty. This is a place called Baker Creek. ( www.bakercreek.com ) it is very pretty there..thought about spending the night there but the rooms rates are from $215- $310 a night. As Robbie would say "If I could only win the lotto!" As we drove on though we found other nice places simliar but much cheaper ( www.beckerschalets.com ) just outside Jasper for $105- $380 per night. As for finding a place for the night it took us 17 hours and a place in Stoney Plaine's Ramada Inn ( 27kms west of Edmonton). Oh yeah if you have a dog PHONE AHEAD to make sure they take pets ( most places DON'T take pets)











I have learned a few things about photography from my Dad. That when you have a great digital camera, anything is possible. I am not as good at taking pictures of flowers as he is but I can crop them to make them look okay. As for our trip home it took is 2 very long days instead of 7 or so hours but you only live once so make the best of it. Have FUN doing it too!!
