Jasper Nat'l Park, Alberta, Ca. June 22

Sorry folks if the posts aren't coming every day.  We are in pretty remote areas where wi-fi isn't available.  Today we are eating pizza in a place that offers free internet service. 
We started out this morning on The Icefields Parkway which is a 230 km. highway which in our language in around 150 miles.  Beautiful, gorgeous mountain ranges the whole way.  I probably took 200 pictures.  What a breathtaking sight!  We arrived in Jasper at noon and set up camp.  After lunch we drove around and saw some pretty lakes and other mountain ranges.  The town is quaint and very rustic.  I read that Alberta's parks are more developed because of the Railway system that runs along the Canadian Rockies.  This is our last park in Alberta and then off to Dawson Creek which is a couple of days away.  That is the beginning of the Alaskan Highway, mile 0'  We will then be in British Columbia.  That goes through the Yukon Territories before we get to Alaska.  The only downside to being here is I can't use the phone.  I miss you all, family and friends.  Especially my newest little Grandson, Benjamin.  Give your Mommy and Daddy and sisters a hug for me.  And hugs for all of the rest of you too.  We love you!
