The Final Post of our 2025 Summer Trip Thank you for sticking with us through our travels to Canada and the US this summer. We enjoyed having you by our side living through some of our most exciting experiences. The journey would not have been the same without you cheering us along. I hope you… Continue reading #25 Huntsville To Home

1st Stop-Battleground, Indiana We have 2 stops in Indiana. Our first stop includes a couple nights at Prophetstown State Park in Battleground, Indiana. Sounds kinda warlike. Prophetstown had a wonderful bike path all around the huge state park. As you can see, they are preparing for Halloween. Different clubs put their Halloween touches along the… Continue reading #24 The Highway Home

Got Ya Singin’ That Old Kid’s Song, Didn’t We? Baraboo I did not make this up. We actually spent a couple nights in a place called Baraboo, Wisconsin, population 12,556. But do not make fun of this little town. There was so much to do and so much we missed that we will need to… Continue reading #23 The Farmer In The Dell

Bye Bye Canada Our last stop was only a few hours from the border. We packed our lunch and figured we’d be ready for the wait. And wait and wait and wait until the light turns green. 40 minutes later we answered our obligatory questions and passed on through to the USA. So we traveled… Continue reading #22 Wine, Food & Family

The Train The Train Since we arrived in Canada each campground has had one evident thing in common, there is a train, a train that passes nearby blowing the whistle through the night. I think it’s a campground requirement. Oh, you want to build a campground? Sorry no, there must be a train. It took… Continue reading #21 Get Your Motor Movin’ Head Out on The Highway

Athabasca Falls After walking on ice, we wandered down the Icefield Parkway to see the famous Athabasca Falls and hiking area. It was a later in the day and the parking lot was lined with sightseers and people hoping to find a space to become a sightseer. As you know, we have encountered these parking… Continue reading #20 Oh Well…Things Happen

Columbia Icefields There was one more day in Jasper and we had a couple more agenda items. Hey, agendas are for everyone. Don’t judge. The morning began on the road to The Columbia Icefields. I signed us up on Trip Advisor. According to Trip Advisor all tickets say 10:30 but they are good for the… Continue reading #19 We Can Walk On Water

You say Maleen, I say Maline We met our tour group and guide in downtown Jasper. We had heard that Maligne Lake was a place we needed to visit so I booked a tour and I was excited for the day to begin. I’m sorry but the adage, you’ve seen one lake you’ve seen them… Continue reading #18 Where’s the Queen?

Jasper Sky Tram We were able to get to our Sky Tram reservation in plenty of time. No cantankerous slide out was going to hold us back from FUN. Pam and I could have climbed to the peak of Whistlers Mountain but we were concerned that Lucca might not be able to make it. We… Continue reading #17 Heights and Plights

The Icefields Parkway There are many stunning views and places that Pam and I have been privileged to see. The Icefields Parkway is pretty durn close to the top of the list. Hwy 93 (The Icefields Parkway) runs south to north or north to south depending on which way you are going, between Lake Louise… Continue reading #16 Almost Heaven

Pam is biking too but I couldn’t find an emoji with both of us. A Day Of Biking In Banff They have terrific biking paths in Banff. They are everywhere and that’s where we wanted to go, everywhere. We said, “See ya later” to Lucca and whoop de do we went. I had heard many… Continue reading #15 Let’s Bike!

Up Up And Away The day after our fun trip to Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and the big bear sighting, we drove to downtown Banff for our next exploration. This time I packed a lunch of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. A girl scout is prepared. We met the tour bus in front of the… Continue reading #14 More Mountains & Lakes?

The drive to Banff was like nothing I had ever experienced. How do I explain the incredible beauty on every side? Imagine a road without a billboard, a condo, a subdivision, a plaza. Let me show you. Keep in mind my photos only provide a snippet of the true awe inspiring beauty of nature in… Continue reading #13 Awe Inspiring Beauty

Let’s Go For A Float Since we weren’t going whitewater rafting, we only needed water shoes (Look at those babies, a fashion statement). And we also needed a protective life jacket in case someone hit us with a paddle and we fell overboard. We all had paddles but as you can see Mason, our guide,… Continue reading #12 Goodbye to Glacier, Hello to Canada

We Have Our Hiking Map, Our Hiking Legs, Let’s Go! My friend, Janet, loaned me the most amazing and comprehensive hiking map for Glacier National Park. Months ago I looked over each of the 88 hikes. I quickly crossed off all the ones over 5 miles. I knew Pam wouldn’t want to go that far… Continue reading #11 Hiking? Wildlife?
