Carolyn, this one's for you.  We love the Canadian Rockies.

We made it to the Alaska Highway.  Were on our way.  Another fifteen hundred miles and we'll be there. Last night we drove a hundred and forty miles from this point in the picture and got a tent space at Pink Mountain RV and motel place.  The night was warm and partly cloudy.  We got our tent set up and got in bed and about twenty minutes later all heck broke out.  Lightning, and teriffic rain came down and our place became a muddy river.  It rained hard all night and into the early morning.  Our new tent leaked up at the top.  We were wet by morning.  The tarp under the tent weighed about forty five pounds with all the mud on it.  We got every thing cleaned up and showered and on our way.  To night were in a cabin at Toad River Lodge in the middle of no where.  Most places up here have there own electrical generating plant because there so far away from everyone else.  We went over some very steep roads to day.  Some parts of gravel.
