Moved on more thru the Rockies went thru Banff --Lake Louise all the great ski mountains my son Travis will sometime hit ---Then Columbia Ice fields and Anthabasca Glacier Woo WEE !!melting pretty fast --So today HOT SPRINGS soaking and relaxing 30 miles east of Jasper ---another best moment---Tommorow begins the 6 day 300 miles + everyday journey to Alaska .We haved hooked up with another couple who have done this 6 other times peter and bobby from Exeter NH gonna convoy with them thru the Yukon to Alaska ---hope you can all do this some day
