The Rockies

Arrived in Banff 
Could not wait to see camp site booked in February it was going to be great - NOT -
Campsites are different from picture on web site and no water taps available anywhere, not always what it seems  fortunately we fund Willow Rock which is about 20 minutes out of Banff, electric, busy on the weekend but quiet during the week, nice people who look after the park.  Self registration works first come gets the site for how ever long you want it, we stayed 3 nights
Bow Valley would recommend  this campground across the street some electric a bit more private

























Geo lesson in progress



gray jay not as friendly as ours in Algonquin 


love those chipmunks



Great picnic spot just beautiful and peaceful

Nice drive to 'Two Jacks campground' saw  a heard of  caribou














let the animals pass


 Great driver!  I haven't driven much ...








 Very clear


Green water have rock flower in them which gives them the colour but kills the fish ;(



Very cold







During beautiful scenery the girls are busy playing



 "look"  
"ya that is nice"


Do not go over the edge






Avalanche

This is serious 'I don't like heights'

elevation 2300 metres

rocks for our window box





Happy and a bit crazy














somethings never change maybe new paint job
