Oh Canada!

We're now international travelers!!!!!  We crossed the border into Canada around 4pm, much later than we had wanted.  

Our entry point was in British Columbia, but our final destination was in Alberta.  Tragically, we passed back into Mountain Time, which meant that instead of pulling into camp around 8pm (*holy crap*), it was really 9pm (*even crappier holy crap*).  These long travel days are going to just do me in.  Blech.          

But on the plus side, we got to spend a little more than an hour with my uncle Steve.  Not a long time, but much more time than I've spent with him in several years!  And I got to meet his posse.  It was great to spend time with Cari and the kids.  A detour well worth it!      

So many wonderful scenes out our windows.  Just amazingly beautiful!              

And we got to see elk on our first night!  We got in so late we decided to skip cooking and head into town for dinner.  We got to see a whole bunch of these beauties as we made our way through the park.  Awesome.
