We made it across the board into Alberta today. It's a bummer to loose an hour of time each time we cross into another providence in Canada, but at least it's dark at night now. So nice to be able to put away the sleep maskā€¦ The day started out sunny after a major thunderstorm went through our camp last night. Not a lot of rain, just lots of thunder and lightening. About 30 miles before we got to camp it started raining, but thank goodness it finished before it was time to set up camp. The drive today was beautiful. There were several lakes and rolling green pastures, but the most significant thing was coming around a corner and seeing Mount Robson. It is the highest mountain (12,590 ft.) in the Canadian Rockies. It was a pretty spectacular sight to see. I took some pictures of our campsite since we are literally the outside edge of campgrounds. Behind us is literally forest. They told us when we checked into camp there are DAILY bear sightings in the area so we are keeping the dogs on tight leashes. It should be interesting... Pray for us....
