Robert, Tuesday, May 20
We got the weather forecast this morning. It was for rain and cooler for the rest of this week. The high temperatures have been in the 50s for the past several days so I guess this means we will see highs in the 40s.
Last night, we discovered that Molly had an enlarged lymph node under her chin. While she seems to be fine, we decided to get her to a vet today. We went into town to the information center for where the closest vet was. There was one in Banff but when we went to the office, I was not impressed so we drove to Canmore. There we got fuel, a few groceries, a can of pressurized air to blow some dirt out of the camera, and an appointment for Molly. The vet confirmed that Molly probably had an infection and that it was localized rather than systemic. We got an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory for her. Hope this clears it up!
We drove around one of the local golf courses to try to see animals. There were a lot of elk and we also saw a coyote.

Banff National Park
Leslie Tuesday, May 20, 2008
Here’s a picture taken from our campsite. This is really a great campground Banff National Park, Tunnel Mountain Trailer Park. We were afraid that the campground would be rows rigs in parking-lot style. That couldn’t be further from the truth. The sites are widely spaced amid lodgepole pine trees. All of the sites have full hook-ups with 30 amp electrical service.

Yesterday I noticed that Molly had a lump under her jaw on the left side. Robert felt it as well. This morning we called their vet in Colorado. Their vet suggested that Molly may need more antibiotics. (Just before we left Colorado we had taken both cats in for a check-up. They both had serious dental problems. They both needed teeth cleaning and had several teeth pulled. After the dental procedures, they were on antibiotics for a week. We also learned that we need to brush their teeth every day. We’re working on the tooth brushing – and I still have 10 fingers.) We found a local vet for Molly. The Canadian vet said that he guessed that Molly’s swollen lymph node is an infection remaining from her tooth problems. He prescribed another antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory drug. If she isn’t better in a week, we’ll have to find another vet for more aggressive testing and treatment.
Long-term travel presents some challenges not faced on usual vacations. One of those challenges is how to have maintenance prescriptions filled. Since we are traveling for such a long time, I had planned on buying regular prescriptions from Canadian or Alaskan pharmacies along the way. I had my doctor in Colorado write me separate RX s (rather than one refillable RX) so that I could have them filled along the way. (At home we use a mail-order pharmacy but that wouldn’t work as we are moving constantly.) I stopped by a pharmacy in Canmore, Alberta today to ask the price for a 90-day supply. The pharmacist said that she could not fill a prescription written in the US. I’m curious about her inability to fill a US written RX because we’ve all read of Americans traveling to Canada to buy less expensive prescriptions. The mail-order pharmacy price at home is $125.00 for a 90 day supply. The price for the same name brand drug in the pharmacy in Canmore would be $25.00 for a 90-day supply. The pharmacist suggested that one would need to go to clinic in Canada (at a cost of approximately $100) to obtain a Canadian prescription. The end result of that would be the same cost as buying the prescription via mail-order at home. Obviously that isn’t worth the effort but I’ll keep you informed as I see how this goes along the way.
After getting Molly back to the 5th wheel we took off to see Banff. The town of Banff is mostly a tourist town with lots of expensive shops (think Aspen). We decided to eat dinner out because it is supposed to rain so our grilling plans would have to wait. We found an Irish pub on a back street. I ordered meatloaf, thinking it would be fairly generic. The meatloaf turned out to have a hot chutney sauce. Ouch! Robert and I traded dinners so that I got to enjoy his stuffed chicken.
After dinner we went on a driving expedition looking for wild animals. I had met someone in the campground last night who told me that we could find many animals along the river and near the golf course. We captured a picture of each of us along the river.

Later we drove along the golf course and saw a herd of elk and then a coyote. The coyote ran quickly along the row of trees but when he approached the elk, the elk acted very aggressively towards the coyote. The elf ran the coyote off. The coyote moved so quickly .
From here we’re headed north to Jasper. The temperature is supposed to drop dramatically. It’s back to sweatshirts.

Banff Tunnel Mountain
Leslie Monday, May 19, 2008
We left this morning for Banff. Weather was cool, around 55 degrees. The travel was only about 100 miles, three hours. That’s the kind of day we like.
We had secured a two day reservation at Tunnel Mountain Trailer Village in Banff National Park. According to the reservation system, spring is May 18 - June 21st – summer follows that. I guess because it is so early, the campground isn’t too crowded. I think about half of the sites are full. This is an unusual governmental campground as the sites are widely separated and they have full hook-ups. We had anticipated a crowded parking lot so we were very pleasantly surprised. They sites are excellent, lots of room between them and trees as separators.
Because it is so chilly, I had made a crock pot stew for dinner. As we sat eating dinner, I jumped up –"what is that?" It was a coyote. He walked along our site with his nose in the air. He hung around for maybe 15 minutes before disappearing into the woods.
http://CarpediemAdventures.smugmug.com/photos/300351221_AUcY5-M.jpg
Later we went walking through the campground. After Robert had returned to our site, I walked a bit further and came upon three elk grazing. I watched the elk for 30 minutes. They didn’t seem bothered by my presence at all.

Moving to Banff
Robert, Monday, May 19
Today was a moving day. One of the things I wanted to check out before we hit the road was our water pump. It was working fine after we got it "fixed" in Lethbridge. (By fixed, I mean the RV tech got it primed.) The water pressure at this campground is very low so we were hooked up to the water system and had the pump running at the same time. With both the water hook-up and the pump running, we had great water pressure. I drained the fresh water tank and ran the pump until it was out of water. Then I put water in the fresh water tank and tried to get the pump to prime itself–no go. We definitely need to get the pump replaced before we get further north where a lot of the camping is "dry" camping meaning no hook-ups. As we can carry 100 gallons of fresh water and we have the generators, dry camping is not a problem as long as the water pump works.
Once we got hitched, we left the campground around 11:00 am. The drive to Banff was less than 100 miles so we got to the campground a little after 2:00 pm. The reason it took three hours is that the road goes over two mountain passes with 8% grades so we often we only going 40 mph. The campground in Banff is in Banff National Park. It is called Tunnel Mountain RV Park. It is a very pretty campground. I took a nap in a recliner while Leslie read. As the weather here is cool (about 50 F) and cloudy, we decided that stew would be good for supper. I whined that we had been on the road for over a week and Leslie had yet to make bread in her bread maker so she made bread to go with the stew–Yum!
While we were eating dinner, a coyote ran past the trailer about 75 feet away. Leslie got some pictures. All around our campsite are a bunch of ground squirrels and I guess he was seeing if any were not paying attention. When we were told about this campground back in Canmore, we were told that there was a lot of wildlife so maybe we will see more. We would definitely return to this campground. After we finished our evening walk (or at least I finished), Leslie walked down to the end of the campground and took pictures of some elk.

Radium Hot Springs - to the pools
Leslie Sunday, May 18, 2008
We’re really enjoying this beautiful campground and the opportunity to work with our technical equipment. The campground has an excellent high speed WIFI internet connection so we’ve used the opportunity here to catch up on outside work while enjoying the view out our windows. (I’ve even gotten some client work done and sent out.)
This morning we spent what seemed like forever trying to set up Skype-the voice over internet telephone service. Although we know many people who use Skype routinely, we weren’t able to achieve satisfactory voice quality despite attempting several different microphones and sound cards. We haven’t figured out why we weren’t successful but we’re guessing that the internet service here, although fast for a campground, really isn’t of sufficient quality for good voice transmissions. (Hey Julie & Gary in Australia, if we had succeeded we had plans to call you regardless of the hour! Skype costs only 2.4 cents per minute to Australia.) We’ll solve this dilemma later.
After calculating and recalculating we decided to buy Canadian National Parks annual passes. Basically it turns out that if you use the passes for 6 days you break even on an annual pass. We think we’ll need a pass for five days at this end of the trip so we decided that we should go ahead and buy the annual pass – that way we won’t ever have to consider whether it is worth going through a national park - and we may visit a national park on the way back south in September. Canadian national park daily entrance fees are expensive – around $19.00 for both of us. We learned that if we had an annual pass we’d also get a discount at the hot springs. That was the deciding factor making our calculation to five days.
We spent the afternoon at the hot springs. Radium Hot Springs are a lot like Glenwood Spring in Colorado – thermal springs bubbling up from the earth create extremely hot pools of water. The hot tub was between 103 - 110 degrees; that’s too hot for me. The "hot" pool was in the 90's. While I really enjoyed the hot pool, I like Glenwood Springs better because the pool at Radium Hot Springs is never deeper than about 3 feet. At Glenwood Springs one could actually swim in the pool. We didn’t go in the cool pool here but it has a diving board and looks like an ordinary swimming pool. I did put my feet in the cool pool; it wasn’t that cold. I’m sure the hot springs would be delightful in the winter.

On the way back to the campground from the Hot Springs I saw this view into the valley. The valley was destroyed by fire in the late 1800s and is now verdant farm country.

By the way, because we were going to the hot springs, I left the good camera at home. I took these pictures with my little Nikon 7.1 megapixel pocket camera. When I downloaded the day’s pictures I found this last picture taken on March 17th at Winter Park, Colorado.

As we had dinner outside at our picnic table tonight we saw a family at a nearby campsite playing a tossing game. I commented to Robert that it looked as if they were playing quoits. I hadn’t seen quoits in many years. Robert had never heard of quoits. I explained that we played quoits as children. Quoits is similar to horseshoes but you have to actually hit the ring. I went on-line tonight to educate those of you who have never played quoits. http://www.quoitfactory.com/quoit-faq.html Some other sources indicate that playing quoits actually precedes the birth of Christ. There is a national quiots association. We had rubber quoits but some of the "official" sources say that metal quoits are common. I think one would not want metal projectiles in a game for children! As I remember it, it was a perfect camping game. This website says that a quoit board lasts for 30+ years. That’s a good thing considering the current cost. http://www.quoits.info/
We’re pulling out of here tomorrow headed to Baniff. We have reservations at a campground at Banff with full hook-ups.
Looking forward to hearing from all of you,
until next time,
Leslie

Off to the Hot Springs
Robert, Sunday, July 18
Got off to another slow start today. Breakfast and lunch and all of the normal things occupied the morning through early afternoon. As we had good internet connection, we tried to install Skype. In case that is an unknown term, it is a phone service over the internet. The normal cost they charge for long distance is 2.4 cents a minute. Even when calling places like Europe, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and many more places. Although we had good internet speed in the campground (we were about 50 feet from the campground wifi antenna), we got very poor results. They have a number you can call and record a message that is played right back. The playback was almost impossible to understand. There are reports that some internet connections just don’t work so we will try it again when we have another internet connection.
In the afternoon we went to the hot springs. They are located a short distance in the national park. The hot springs consists of two large swimming pools–one is the hot pool and one is the cold pool. At one end of the hot pool is a hot tub where the water from the hot springs enters. It is about 103 F. Then the water enters the hot pool, which is cooler but nice and warm. The warm pool really isn’t for swimming but rather for sitting along the edge and enjoying the water. The cold pool is really for swimming–it has a diving board and the water temperature is just like any swimming pool. While we were in the hot pool, the weather clouded up and it started to spit light rain. But by the time we got back to the trailer, the sun was out and so we grilled outside. Just another great day.
I didn’t get this posted before we left Radium Hot Springs and we don’t have wifi at the campground in Banff so that is why this is posted so long after the fact.

Radium Hot Springs
Robert, Saturday, July 17
We got a late start this morning. The other day we were in a grocery store and they had fresh strawberries. The produce clerk was offering free samples and Leslie and I took a very large berry. It was as good as any we have ever had. Of course we bought a big box. Guess what we had for breakfast? If you guessed fresh strawberries you get a gold star. After strawberries, showers, left-overs for lunch we set out for town. It was so late we decided to see town today and visit the hot springs tomorrow. It turns out that "town" almost doesn’t exist. Two gas stations, a few restaurants, a grocery store, and that’s about it.
Our plans from here are to go back to Banff for two night, to Jasper for two nights, to Prince George for two nights, to somewhere between Prince George and Prince Rupert for one night, and then to Prince Rupert. At Prince Rupert is where we get on the ferry for the trip up the southeast coast of Alaska.
I previously said that I thought Victoria Day (the coming Monday) was to celebrate Canada’s independence. Well, it turns out that it celebrates Queen Victoria’s birthday and now is the day that any old queen’s birthday is celebrated. Whoopee do!
