October 19-25 — Trains, Planes and Hotels
This piece is longer than previous bits of blog. The journey was longer too! There have been complaints from some readers about how the blog lags behind our actual travels. This is true, but caused by a combination of poor … Continue reading
September 14: The time of our lives – a few thoughts from Elaine
This is Elaine with a few of my highlights so far. The scenery along the north of Superior was breathtaking. The lake as still as a millpond at Agawa Provincial Park in the evening, yet in the morning there were … Continue reading
September 11: The big mountains
We approached the Kicking Horse Pass and the Rogers Pass with some trepidation, but the trusty truck pulled the trailer up with some gear changes. Coming down we changed down, and applied some trailer braking to keep us from running … Continue reading
September 10: Lake Louise and Moraine Lake
The sun shone, and we took a couple of pictures in Canmore and then headed for Lake Louise. Again, indescribable. Lake Louise is one of the most beautiful places in the world. That is about all you can say. Parking … Continue reading

September 6: Horse Thief Canyon
These photos of Horse Thief Canyon warranted their own post. John
September 6: Badlands – Bleriot Ferry, Horse Thief Canyon and The Royal Tyrrell Museum
Stayed another day in the badlands, with the hoodoos and fossils. Fascinating valleys, including the Horse Thief Canyon, which is like the Grand Canyon in miniature. In another few million years it could be as big! The Red Deer River … Continue reading
September 5: Dinosaur bones
Drumheller Alberta is impressive. The heart of the Alberta Badlands. Valleys of sedimentary rock veined with coal … now usurped by oil and gas. This is also the home of the dinosaurs, or rather their fossils. But the town boasts … Continue reading
