Oct 6, 2011 - Rocky Mnt House, AB

We got to Rocky a wk ago. Drumheller was great! The campground was very good, the only thing was our dish did not work. We spent a lot of time Caching and got over 150. We saw a lot of country and got lost almost every day. We moved to Rocky and set up at Trishia's. She has a very nice place in the country, about 7 acres. We still could get no Satellite, too many trees. Sept 28 took Rusty too the vet in Red Deer and had an accident on the way in. Everybody OK except the Jeep, it will be about 3 wk getting fixed. We took the coach to West...

And guess what - life started back on it's old frantic pace - way too frantic for a couple who weren't...

Jul 24, 2006 - Mount Robson Provincial Park

It was so hot we decided to take a quick trip to Maligne Lake (The biggest in the Rockies) via Medicine Lake, so called because natives thought it magical due to it's having no inlets or outlets - it fills and drains throughout the year via underground lakes and streams. We also had a lucky encounter with big-horned sheep crossing the road at one point - they spend most of their lives up on the hills skipping from one precarious ledge to another, avoiding predators. We decided we shouldn't leave the Rockies without seeing it's highest peak,...
