This morning, we had a break for a little while in the weather and had a spectacular view of the mountains surrounding the ice fields. I know I use that word a lot, but I just can't think of a better one. Today is the most scenic part of the trip we were told and it certainly has turned out to be that way. We pulled out around 8 to make our way to Valemount, BC. While it is only 129 miles away, we had some downhill grades that were nail biters and such beautiful scenery that it required a lot of oohing and aahing. I have made so many pictures. Oh by the way, I forgot to mention that on the way to the icefields we saw a huge black bear right on the side of the road. I did get his picture but he was so busy eating he didn't even look up when we slowed down. Thank goodness Rudy didn't see him or that would have been a different story. We left Alberta and entered British Columbia about half way into the trip. We are also now on Pacific Time. Had a few little delays with road construction, but not for very long.
Made it into the campground and did a load of laundry and made a peach cobbler for our cook-out tonight. First time since Calgary we have had WIFI. Also have 50 amps. We have really stayed in some nice campgrounds and I know we will have some as we travel further north that aren't quite as nice as what we have become accustom to, but that is part of the charm of this area.
Our WM's and TG's are cooking hamburgers and all the trimmings for us and we are bringing desserts. This is our fourth of July party since we were at the rodeo that day and didn't celebrate it properly. It has been raining for the last 2 hrs and I have had a chance to catch up on my blogging. The RV smells really good with the cobbler cooking. Thank goodness, our cookout is in a covered pavilion. We saw the manager putting tarps up around the sides, so we should be nice and dry. This will be a fun evening.
