Day 16 Cochrane, AB

We are still in Cochrane, AB. Pam and Lon went to the Calgary Stamped. Funny how Yankees are intrigued with rodeos. We stayed home for a "Heidi Day". They have a great dog park right behind the RV park, on the Bow River.

Heidi went fishing.

She had some help.

She made a lot of new friends on the trail.

Must have had too much fun, became a lap dog again.

I couldn't help noticing the hill side. I figure these Canucks build that close for warmth.

Back home, still the lap dog routine. She loves her Mom.

Pam got this picture at the Stampede.  CHARLIE you need more shit!

Off to Lake Louise tomorrow.

Day 15 Glacier National Park to Cochrane, AB

After the scenic overkill at Glacier National Park yesterday, we got back to the campground in the rain to this.....not really a rainbow....more a rain streak.

                        But, whatever it was, we celebrated  it with 2 flavors of  summer sausage and cheese.

We got on the road early this morning. Bout 9:30. A stop at the gas station first, because it will be much higher in Canada.

We stoped at the customs place going in to Canada, only because I was told that they get real upset if you don't. It was a terrible experience! They wanted to know about my guns, my wife, my criminal record. HELL, I don't even know these people! 

BUT ... they did welcome us.

After we got away from the cops at customs, I decided that I really liked Canada. The speed limit is 110! Fuel is $1.10! You can't beat that.

The next 200 km (or whatever) was rolling hills and farm land. We think this yellow stuff  is clover.

Pam took this pic of a rather unique building. Not sure what it is.

BUT, this Guy has 2 of them!

We finally got through all the traffic in Calgary and landed at the Bow Rivers Edge Campground. We were lucky to get in as the Calgary Stampede is going on.

After we got settled in, Pam and Lon went to Safeway and Heidi went fishing in the Bow River.

Lon made tacos.

And all ate well!

Tomorrow Pam and Lon are going to the Stampede and Gail, Heidi, and I are going to take a "dayoff"... MAYBE.
