May 18, 2012 - Into the Canadian Rockies

Well, no Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump this morning. Cold and raining when we got up so we just unhooked and headed north. Did run out of the rain about half-way to Calgary. We drove west of Calgary towards the Canadian Rockies through some picturesque horse country. Very windy, though. Lunch was at a pullout along the highway on the way to Banff. Once there, we finally found a place to park the RV and headed to the first of two museums on my list. The Banff Park Museum is Western Canada’s oldest natural history museum (1903) and a national...

May 14, 2012 - Day 20, Banff, National Park

Day 20, Monday, May 14, 2012 We started off in the Kia this morning to take a scenic drive that the lady in the RV Park office recommended. It was a gravel road that runs through the mountains (like there’s anything that doesn’t) and beside a long, narrow reservoir (maybe 10 miles) that was still almost completely frozen over. There were about seven young bighorn sheep standing right in the road that didn’t blink an eye as we slowly drove by and took pictures. Along the reservoir is a marshy area that we were guaranteed to see moose. Not....

Day8;So as nick said in the last day journal we are getting low on cash but we've been to all thesse cool sports events all of them being hockey and lacrosse but they're worth it. The Jets lost against Florida panthers 9-1, that was a pretty bad game but we had fun chilling all of the people in Winnipeg. There next game was alot better 7-0 against the Buffalo sabres, I guess ryan miller couldn't stop Andrew ladd he got a double hat trick. Next we are heading to Toronto for the comic con. Oh yeah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! star wars Comics and Aquaman...

Jan 31, 2012 - Day:10

Those pictures are going on facebook when we get back to cornwall. We're taking the Rv back to Cornwall so overall this was a great Experience and a really fun Trip.

Jan 31, 2012 - Day: 9

Day:9 We're booking our hotel room while nick does that I'm going to head down to the lobby to see if anyone knows where the comic con would be. Not to many people knew what comic con was but they knew where some comic book stores were so me and nick walked to the closest comic book store. The closest and most famous comic book store was the Silver Snail.....sounds interesting haha!! We asked the manager where the comic con was he told us were it was.I walked out with the new Aquaman comic SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jan 23, 2012 - Day6;

Day6; We had a pretty good time in Banff,Alberta. We took a tour of the rocky mountains which was great, even though nick tripped on a rock and everyone laughed, including me. After that we went to the mountain flim festival. Nick didn't tell me until after we got there what movies were playing. I was hoping for Jurassic Park, but instead we watched all the scream movies. It was okay, but I would have prefered Jurassic park. Next we're taking a taxi to Winnipeg,Manitoba. In Winnipeg we're going to do: -Watch a Winnipeg jets game against...

Jan 20, 2012 - Day5;

Day5; Well, Edmonton had some surprising results. We had a good time at our 2 sports events. The final score for the Lacrosse game was 13-8 for the Edmonton Rush. But the hockey game didn't turn in favour of Edmonton. The final score was 2-1 for Calgary. Not the way I would of made it, but whatever. Were off to Banff now. By way of public transit. Not very comfy, but it'll do. What we plan on doing as soon as we arrive there is; -Take a Rocky Mountain Tour. -Watch a Mountain film Festival we are freaking out because all our munchies are...

Oct 29, 2011 - Banff Canada

After leaving Calgary and traveling 78 miles we took the RV now named LuAnn over to the Canadian Rockies to the beautiful picteresque town of Banff high up in the mountains at about 4,000 feet. This will be our Northern most stop on our Journey...Surrounded by mountains, we arrived into Banff early in the afternoon in time to take a drive 30 minutes up the road to the famous Lake Louise where the Chateau Lake Louise is and the famous Victoria Glacier.. Certainly one of the most beautiful spots in North America. Lucky enough there had been...

Aug 30, 2011 - Banff National Park

Aug 6 Sabbath: We could only reserve 2 nites at Lake Louise, so had to move on down to Banff (about 40 miles). Upon talking to our neighbor in the park this morning before leaving the park, we found out that we are in a different time zone (1 hours ahead); it had changed when we entered Alberta Province 2 days ago. We were wondering why the sun was going down so much earlier than we had experienced! Here we have full hookup at the provincial park. Very nice area. We got here early so drove out to different places to see if we could see some...

Aug 16, 2011 - Jasper to Lake Louise & Banff

Jasper to Lake Louise & Banff Today was what i thought the Rockies would be like, we passed through snow capped mountains, blue lakes and water falls. just do hard to describe them. We saw 2 bears just at the side of the road, pity by the time you get our camera out you have missed them. Stopped at Columbia icefields and the Athabasca Glacier, took a ride out to on to the glacier. I have my photo witcanadianaian mountie, so need to find somewhere to upload photos, every where now is wifi so not alot of internet cafe's. Lake Louise is very...

Aug 15, 2011 - Harvey Goes to Canada - part 2

Monday, August 15 In the morning it’s 50 degrees inside, so I fire up the furnace and go back to bed until it’s a toasty 65. We run our generator for a few minutes (it’s only allowed for a couple of hours twice a day) and then we’re off. Our first stop is Mount Edith Cavell. Here you can climb a steep trail, about ½ mile long, that ends at a quiet lake with icebergs floating in it. There is a glacier directly across the lake, which is the source of the icebergs, and there is a second “hanging” glacier higher up the mountain to our right....
