Sorry for the lack of updates for the past few days. We had a little trouble with a buffalo. He decided that he wanted to join our little convoy. Unfortunately, buffalo's top speed is about 40 mph, and we were going about 65. Not having the driver training required by most Departments of Motor Vehicles, his merging skills were NOT up to par. Chaos ensued and in the end the Buffalo decided that our convoy wasn't worth the trouble. Of course we lay scattered across the highway at that point. Several hours, three tow trucks, two ambulances, one helicopter and a massive traffic jam later, the mess was cleaned up.
Just kidding! (had you going, didn't I?)
Today, we learned how spoiled we were in the Yukon and northern BC. Gone are the days of cool weather, and open roads. Today as we left Jasper National Park (through the Icefields and Glaciers!) we hit tons of traffic and lots of heat! 95F as we came out of the mountains. The traffic wasn't helped by the fact that this is a Holiday weekend (British Columbia day, apparently).
Fortunately, our destination greeted us with shade, refreshments and our lovely hosts Jay and Kathy Hunter. Evan and I even got to take a dip in the lake before our killer dinner of Pulled BBQ Pork, slaw and fresh grilled corn! Yum! -MGates
