We just finished our 2nd day driving home. We went from McBride to Jasper and then we stopped and went to Tim Horton’s (free wifi) and tried to send emails. After 90 minutes we had only sent 10 emails with pictures out of 40. We had to get on the road so we took off with hopes of finding a spot tonight with better wifi. We headed south (a new route) and drove thru Banff National park thru the rockies. Beyond belief (again) as we went thru the mountains for 100 miles. We got a bunch of pictures that hopefully we can send. We are now just east of Calgary. Approximately 1200 miles from home.
One thing we talked about today was what we’d try to remember if we had to do this over. How about the following that we don’t have:
- toaster
- spatula
- thermometer
- Binoculars
- crock pot (that was Tim’s addition which I veto)
- clock
- better camera (telescopic). Well needed on this trip.
- Tim’s bike (his wife, Nancy, told him to bring it. He didn’t)
- Our wives
What we remembered that was critical: Your prayers for us! I only took 4 falls (all bad) but still walking. Miraculously. Mike hasn’t fallen or had any accidents - A MIRACLE! Today it rained ALL day! Incredible how we missed 99% of that weather. We hope to be home in 2.5 to 3 more days! We are ready!
PS: Part of that once in a lifetime vacation you must go to Stewart/Hyder! In addition you have to drive thru Calgary and up thru Banff National Park (thru the Rockies). You won’t believe anything could be better than that until you get to Stewart, BC, and Hyder, AK.
We have quite a slide show to play which we will at the "Party of the Century" prior to the White Sidewalls playing. You are in for a treat!
Love you all and God bless. Keep praying till we get home.
Chuck & Mike
Huge congrats on a job well done!!!
