Leaving BC back To Alberta

---

Bill woke me up just before 9 am to let me know breakfast was almost ready! What a treat to have someone else cook breakfast and the coffee already on. After breakfast, Bill headed into town for work and Maggie and I had a great visit, while Otis had fun chasing all the cats outside! After the laundry was finished, off to Golden, to visit with Bill before heading out on the road.

Left Golden around 1 (happy with reconnecting with Bill and Maggie), and back up to Banff and onto the Ice Fields road! Glacier after Glaciers! It was something else. Made it to Jasper in time for supper! And finally some wild life on the road! Saw some cute sheep (you should see them jumping onto the rocks, up and down the hills!) and another elk. Along the road to Manning, saw a coyote as well.

Tonight was to be a driving night, and around midnight, stopped in Peace River to find a room! All booked up or wanted to charge an arm and a leg because of the dog, so back on the road and up to Manning! The first room they gave us, had a bed, that someone had slept in and dirty towels...back to the front desk to get another room! This time with 2 beds! You should have seen Otis when he realized he had his own bed! Knocked my clothes onto the floor and took over the other bed!

It is now, 1 am, so off to sleep!
