Day 185 - 23rd October 2018 - Waterfalls, Mountains and Bison

We made it to Fort McMurray last night after a very long drive. It's 8 1/2 - 9 hours to start with but when there are 4 women in the truck quite a few "pit" stops, snack stops etc  made so guaranteed to add a few minutes....or more onto the trip. But it was fun and lots of laughs. Before we left Banff we drove a loop through some of the mountains in search of Big Horn Sheep but they were not obliging us. We did see some spectacular views though. Then a great hike at Johnstone's Canyon to the see the Upper and Lower Falls. Very good idea before we made the trip to Fort Mac. Got all that energy used up. On the way we did find some Bison - they are farmed ones but doesn't matter, got them off that bucket list! And we picked up Bison burgers for supper tonight. Beautiful scenery as we drove along - but the mountains disappeared behind us and flat farmland was all around us. What a change in just a few hours. It appears my internal clock has adjusted to the time change as I'm up 3 hours before the rest of the house. No idea what's on the agenda for today, Justin is off and in charge of entertainment, Jenny is back to work.


 Been seeing lots of Grey Jays (Canada Jays)






Enjoy your day!
