We only traveled about 200 miles today instead of the 400 or so we have been doing the past few days. Going to stop in Hinton, Alberta so we can get up early and spend the whole day driving through Jasper National Park. I mentioned before that we were there 30 years ago and had to go through it fast because it was cold and rainy, Brian and Mark were little, we were camping from the back end of our truck and we had to find a place with electricity so we could have heat. This trip through the park should be a little bit easier J Here’s some scenery along the way to the KOA.
Came across a coal mining operation. The coal looked pretty near the surface as you can see in the next pictures.
It may not look like it…but this dump truck is gigantic!
I think this bridge is pretty old…needs a paint job and the deck is “wooden!” Come on Canada…get with the times!
Every little stream and river were rushing and overflowing their banks. They tell us that they have gotten an excess amount of rain this spring and they are ready for more sun. With such long winters…I definitely can understand that.
Spending the afternoon and night at the KOA Campground in Hinton, Alberta. Needed to watch some news and hook up to the internet to do my blogs. “Great! Can’t get on until 9 tonight! I think that is false advertisement to say they have free wi-fi! Know where the “Better Business Bureau” in Canada is…“eaahhhh?”
Guess…we’ll just have to enjoy the scenery until we can start “clicking” on our computers. We have some French Canadians in the motor home next to us. I decided it was time to graduate myself from “people-watcher” to a downright “Eavesdropper”; but I can’t understand a word they are saying! Leave it to the French! Guess I’ll just have to mind my own business. J 7,100 miles behind us so far.
