Hang in there with us!!!

Our campsite in Banff...located on a beaver pond with a great background.

Since I last wrote, we continue to have problems putting photos on the blog.... Wifi service is slow in the campgrounds. It is taking too long so will not be able to download pics until we resolve this problem. When we get to a larger town this weekend we hope to resolve this problem. Hang in there with us.... I have a lot of good ones for you!!!

Yesterday, Sunday, we finally reached the beginning of the Alaska Highway in the town of Dawson Creek, BC. It's in the NE corner of British Columbia. The AK Highway is roughly 1500 miles long and was built in 9 months in 1942 to secure our country during WWII. Today we reached the northern most reaches of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. They are just as beautiful as those in Banff and Jasper. We saw lots of animals and took many pictures....moose, mt.goats, and caribou and some we can't even identify!!! We continue to appreciate the beauty this country and are having a wonderful time. Signing off for now.......
