We woke up this morning where we went to sleep – Sorrento, BC or as the campground was called, Blind Bay. This was by far the most expensive campground we have stayed in but they did have great internet. We were not in a hurry as we were only going to Banff which was about a 5 hour drive. This means Biker Arda was able to have her coffee in bed and work on a puzzle… she really does enjoy this.
We left about 10:00 AM and headed east. The scenery sure has changed from the ruggedness of Alaska to the majesty of the Rocky Mountains with the tall trees, definitive tree line, and solid rock peaks. It is amazing how many forms ‘mountains’ take. We saw some beautiful country but unfortunately there are not very many places where one can stop to take photos or even enjoy the scenery.
It is illegal to stay on the side of the road in BC so we have to find a campground every night. They sure aren’t as RV friendly as the Yukon or Alaska where there are lots of pull-outs and places to stay. Tonight we are in Tunnel Mountain which is a National Park just outside of Banff. Fajitas on the BBQ, toasted marshmallows, cookies, and coffee make for a tough life.
One road sign we did see was, “30 MPH when Children Playing on the Highway”. I guess it is ok to run them over at 30 MPH but not any faster…
Tomorrow we are off to Calgary to visit my brother Al and his family for a couple of days.
