Denny E. Barnes July 15, 2010
You are sure having fun with that PSE7. Very creative and beautiful work here, Laura! Tell Ron Hi for me. Hope they get to do and see everything they want. I know we had a long and cold winter. Is there still lots of snow in the lower mountains there that might be a problem for them? I know the summer is short in the parks. #8766857Laura E. Swan July 15, 2010
Hi Denny! You know...Banff is a funny place...It's mostly FLAT driving, of all things! You are SURROUNDED by HUGE ROCKIES that make you feel really small. Once you leave Alberta for B.C. the Rockies USED to be pretty tricky driving! But now they have the new super highway through there and it's not so bad if you go that route...Ron and Shirley wont be driving that way.I hope there is some snow in the Rockies still for them as it makes for beautiful shots...but I dont think they will hit much while driving..MAYBE in Lake Louise? Jasper maybe, too? MANY times we get snow camping in June...
Thanks so much for the visit, Denny!!! Good to see you! :)
