Jack, Ethan, Eli, Lincoln, eat your heart out cause this is the Grand daddy of all trucks.  It is listed as the largest truck ever made in the whole world. I've got more pictures when we come home.  Just a note, it burns 70 gallons of diesel an hour.  It has a 3300 hp locomotive engine for power.  We could easily put our whole house on this truck.  What a RV that would be. 
Mom wishes the kids was here to play on these blow ups.                                                                      


Roy, you can ride this train all day for only $10.  Its on a 3 mile track that does a figure 8 at a National run Heritage fun park here in Canada.  No we didn't ride it, but they let me climb all over and in it.  The engineer was a lady and she was good at running the engine. 
We got to Lake Lousie kinda late, were staying over in a cabin, this is the second cabin in a row, must be something to them.  There really nice, contains every thing you need,  Were a mile from the lake.  It is really beautiful, much more than the picture shows. 
Food prices are really high so far in Canada,  a basic hamburger cost more than nine dollars.  Tomatoes etc. extra.  Gas is a dollar nine a litter.  They tell us after we pass Jasper the prices will drop since we won't be in the heart of the tourist places.  With all the great lakes around there are a lot of destinations places for the very rich.   We eat out side the park and when we walked through the Lake Louise Hotel we found we could have eat for the same price since it is government run.  Blew that.  Most all the people at Lake Louise spoke a different language so we felt like the foreigner.  We may not have good internet for about a week.  We don't know at this time.  Phone service is very sparse most of the time, just in the city's.
