Update #2 From Canada

Yesterday we drove from Penticton to Lake Louise. It was beautiful, but somewhat cloudy and rainy, and I'm betting there was a lot more beauty behind those rainclouds. We made camp at the "terrain de camping" in Lake Louise, had dinner in the shelter in the company of 2 Swiss tourists, and then made our way to both Lake Louise and Lake Moraine for some stunning views at dusk.

And now, for another small update by the numbers:

# bike rides completed: 3

# deer sighted: 10

# elk sighted: 3

# chipmunks avoided: 4

# groundhog/squirrels sighted: too many to count

I'm hoping for some additions tomorrow.

And for your viewing pleasure, here's a taste of what we've been up to...

First Night of Camping

Sunset from our campsite

Riding by the sweet Radio Observatory!

Recovery Food

Driving through the Canadian Houseboat Capital

There is an electric fence to keep bears out of the tent campground at Lake Louise.

Lake Louise Lodge

Yes, it really is that turquoise, and yes, we really were as cold as Tricia looks.

Clouds enshrouding the glorious mountains.

Blue sky peeking over the peaks.
