Into Canada

And so it came to pass that on August 8th--exactly one month after departing Cary--we entered Canada, via Eastbrook, into British Columbia, Pacific Time Zone.

At the border

Clear skies in Cranbrook where we spent our first night; high hopes for seeing the northern lights...

Beautifully restored '51 Mercury V-8

No Wallydocking in Cranbrook, but Canadian big boxes are a bit more
accommodating

Incipient badlands

Lots of varmint viaducts and critter crossings on the highly traveled
roads; rather fewer as you proceed north

Interesting formations

Didymo--aka rock snot--here in Canada, last seen
by us in New Zealand

Animal crossing modeled after Roman bridges

After three tries over two days to get into the Lake Louise parking
lot, this is all we saw; fortunately we'd seen it before...in 1972; in
Banff NP

Overflow RV parking at Lake Louise

It was tough, but we made it; and were to suffer worse in the Yukon

Into Jasper NP

A bit of the Columbia Ice Field, which feeds the Atlantic, 
the Pacific, and the Arctic Oceans

Lots glaciers hereabouts

Interesting picnic table design

Logging is alive and well in BC
