Played golf with 2 hilarious guys from Kelowna, construction workers with Friday off….laughed the whole round, heard stories of hunting and bears in their yards, and camping with something grunting and screaming and large footprints around the trailor, awful fires on the mountains, lots of golf courses in the area….left for the US after golf..went as far as omark,wa and found the best Mexican restaurant and it was packed…then onto Yakima…. Home away from home….
Well friends and family….this adventure is over we should be home on Tuesday or wed… we enjoyed this road trip and are thinking a RV may be in our future…so much to see….

Well after 6 hours in the car both of us were bored to death, you can only look at so many antelope and cows of every color or birds or small rodents or cloud formations….so we decided to call it a day in medicine hat…found a golf course (dessert bloom) 3 years old and in a valley and played 9 holes then dinner then motel with glass glasses…who knew that was important…days inn our new favorite….
Up and off to another day of driving on flat and straight roads…but we knew there were mountains at the end so we braved up and took off….weather is sunny and nice….reached Calgary and then about an hour later reached Banff…..worth the ride…what a beautiful city in the mountains….not much snow at this level but some on the peaks….found another chilis so all is well with the world….saw a big horn sheep and deer……looking up in the mountains for sheep and one was laying by the road waiting to have his picture taken…sweet……
When Craig and Megan went through this part of Canada on their sabbatical they said they got fussy about what they thought was beautiful and worthy of a picture…after today I understand what they were saying….the high mountains, snow capped mts. , glaciers, streams, rivers, waterfalls, animals, tunnels, bridges, oh wow….. this is such an incredible part of the country….no matter where you turned it was awesome…lake louise with the sun shining on it and the reflections unbelievable…people just stared…..we stayed in Banff last night and we are in Kelowna tonight, we are going to play golf in the am and then start back to the states….
