Early Pics of Our Canadian Trip

[Gilligan]

BG and a couple of others have asked me to post the pics of our Canadian trip.  We have not completed organizing them yet, but here are a couple of them.


                                                  Banff



                                                  Athabasca Glacier



                                                  On the Glacier



                                                  Jasper


After we finish, I'll go through our journal with the pics.

Ride Safe, y'all.

gilly, a big ole "thanks" for the pics even though they are just a tease for what's yet to come.
dang, it looked cold up there for the summer.
i've saved to my computer the pics from your trip out west a couple years ago.
that's not stealing is it?

you must know how to pack compactly...........i only see a tank bag and another medium size bag on the trunk.
after all the trips you and Nav have made you have it down to a science.
i am truly impressed

that's not stealing is it? ... and ... how to pack compactly

Stealing:   Nope.  It's not stealing.  It's sharing, and we enjoy sharing.   

Packing:   Yep, we learned how to pack compactly, by eliminating things we found were not necessary.  It's amazing what you can do without.

Looking good you two! It looks a bit cold, thats better then the 115 degree here in Vegas, beautiful shots.

Glad you two had a great trip and thanks for some great pics.  Brings back some fond memories of my trip to the Great White North many years ago.  Time to return.

We stayed at the Super 8 in Invermere on our way in.  In Banff, we cannot recommend where we stayed.  It was a little pricey and not a good deal for the money.  We do recommend Melissa's Misteak for meals.  We stayed in the Icefields Chalet at the Athabasca Glacier.  It was very expensive, but we got time alone at the Icefields.  (Good place for couples.)  We stayed at the Mount Robson Inn in Jasper.  It was motorcycle friendly with a good location for either walking to eat or riding to see the sights.

We hope you have a great ride.  Be prepared for snow as you approach Athabasca Glacier.  As you can see from the pics, it got very cold and snowed down wind.

Ride Safe.
