Our last campsite before heading to Drumheller
This kitty kept hanging around
We think she is a resident cat
Sharing a bit of Bing and Finnegan's food
Lunch time
I have seen this leaning barn many times on our way to Calgary
Sure enough it is still standing
All alone with a bit of grass and a tree
Scenery as we near Drumheller
Drumheller Museum
Ever faithful travelling companions
RV park just down the road from the Olympic site.....Calgary
Someone else likes yellow
Home of
EDGE
Hockey and many other sports are played here
A school for athletic students
Ethan's hockey team were playing at Edge over the weekend
We were lucky enough to catch the games on our way through to Penticton
Worked our way back to Edge from downtown Calgary
Took the back roads
You never know what you are going to see!
Ethan giving a hand to get the goalie's net set up
Question: Ethan what is happening here?
Answer: OH.....the guy was calling me
'SQUEEKIE"
because of my high voice
REALLY??????
Sunday morning drive to Penticton
We were fortunate to see the Rocky Mountaineer
roll by
What a beautiful sight!!!!!
This guy started out to cross the highway then changed his mind
Trying to work our way back to Tim Horton's in the town of Sicamouse
Again, you never know what you might come across
Pretty blue colour of RV
We have arrived
Dad tagged along with Graham Les and Dillon on a hunting expedition
He was the chief cook and bottle washer
Last of the few blooming flowers at Squamish
It's like a tradition
Each time we visit with Jennifer we make a trip up to Whistler to
Southside Diner
for breakfast
Have a little visit with Les and Nikki
Alwasy soooo good to see them!
Above the diner is a hostel
I can see a person looking out the window!
Front street entrance to the Fairmont Hotel
Jennifer and her crew have the gardens all bunkered down for winter
A tour of the rooftop
Checking out bee hotel
Some bee hives as well
A Mom her daughter and their dogs!!
What more could I ask for on a sunny fall day in Whistler BC
Jennifer is moving to Whistler the beginning of December
Her new place is at the Olympic Village
Oh Happy Day!!!!
While looking for 'something' Jennifer came across her sweater
and hat that my friend Kathy had knitted for her when she was 3 years old
I always loved her sweater
Halloween eve
Tightrope Winery
Thank you for visiting
Thursday afternoon Graham and I went for a ride up the mountain
We were looking for great horned sheep and deer
A photo opportunity
We passed a few logging trucks
and
As you can see some of the land has been cleared
We came upon the Ellis Reservoir
This is the big wheel that controls the water flow down to Penticton
Down down it goes to the canal in Penticton
Shooting practice up in the mountain
Little squirrel with a big pine cone!
I want to say......
Ah shucks!
Are you looking at me?
Because
I am looking at you!
I noticed this horse on the way up and way down the mountain
Having a rest I guess??
Having a bite to eat!!
Yum Yum
OK OK
Back it up
OK OK
Too close for comfort
This is the guy we were looking for
Leader of the pack
Check out his horns
Play time
Part of the herd joining up with the rest of the 'family'
I am all caught up now
