Well made it to Jasper by 6pm Alberta time. Had to laugh at the welcome to the Province of Alberta, provincial cruisers. There were three at the border line pulling people over left right and centre. My luck I was following a rig or it might have been me too. Then they ding you $10 at the park gate and low and behold there's more RCMP on the other side, even pulled someone over a stones throw out of the gate....dirty ducks. The ride in was nice, not the bike road #24 was but the scenary of the mountains is always nice and there was the oddest little grave yard on the side of the highway in the middle of knowwhere.

Had the honor of seeing mount Terry Fox for the first time. I don't think there's anything I can say to do justice on how that made me feel....
Jasper's nice, a real tourist spot. Good time of year to come through, not too busy. Stayed in one of the many provincial sites, expensive, a bit loud and I think I was underpowered.
Had to laugh, I found my camp light not working so I'm in town grabbing a couple of things thinking if I should spend the bucks and buy a crappy light from the grocer or wait it out......it didn't get pitch dark until after midnight. There's quit the train in town, the "Rocky Mountaineer", must be about twenty passenger cars with 3 viewing cars at the end. Well from here it's on ward to Grande Prairie. I've heard the #40 is scenic, shouldn't be too bad, it's over cast but doesn't look like rain.
