I waited patiently last night until 9 P.M. at the KOA Campground in Hinton, Alberta to get on the internet to do my blogs for days 41-44. Oh…I was so happy… finally I could let you know what we have been up to since the last slow wi-fi connection! The minutes ticked by and at last it was one minute to 9 o’clock! Then one of those negative thoughts popped into my head…what is going to happen when “everyone” in this campground logs on at 9 o’clock. It didn’t take long to find out that my thought was right…no way was I going to get on! I read the campgrounds suggestions for success in connecting and standing on my head didn’t even work! J I went to bed…vowing that the next place we stopped at a campground with wi-fi I would report to KOA Headquarters the mental stress I endured through their false advertisement of providing wi-fi service! Well…it’s is a new day and we’re heading to Jasper and Banff National Parks and I won’t have any room in my head for any negative thoughts today.
Right outside Jasper National Park we saw a Black bear grazing along the road. He ran into the woods and that’s when we noticed another bear up in the tree. It was almost like he was trying to tell us he was hiding and to go and seek someone else to gawk at!
There were a bunch of Elk that crossed the road; but this one seemed to have an attitude problem. Just from the way he was walking, he seemed to say…”hey tourists…this is a park and the wildlife have the right of way!”

A Badger bus from Wisconsin carrying Japanese people? Ummm….
Banff National Park
Maybe we should stick around Calgary for another two weeks…William and Kate (future King and Queen of England) will be spending part of their honeymoon here. They’re even going to the Stampede!
Camping tonight in a small town names Bassano in Alberta. They are celebrating their 100th birthday this year. We’re staying at a nice, neat little park that is just blocks from downtown. The park has bathrooms, showers, electricity;… but “NO WI-FI!” WI?, WI?, WI?
Interesting bridges….not for vehicles; but for animals to cross the highway.
Before we knew it…we were leaving the mountains behind and moving into farmland and rolling hills once again.
