July 23 Sunday

Left Telkwa around 10 headed for Jasper. The area is beautiful … a lot like Alaska with traffic. We can tell were back to civilization—the gas stops have snacks (not only a snack but a lot of snacks, too many choices). No more electric vest … it’s hot!
Got to Jasper around 6—it’s a happening place. Sort of touristy with expensive hotels. Joe and I decided to camp.

They had 9 bear sightings today. Because of the hot weather the bears are coming down the mountain. So … this could be my last post.

Having my favorite dinner at the Jasper Pizza Palace--on the rooftop patio. Life is good!

Tomorrow: Banff toward Glacier National Park and the USA
