Day 8. Taking in the mineral waters

We spent the entire day in Banff. After breakfast, we spent several hours at the Internet coffee shop where Pepe earned his blogging wings. Afterwards, we went to the sulfur springs & soaked in the 41C water (first one to figure out degrees F gets a prize from Pepe).

After the spring, we took a gondola ride up Sulfur Mtn & saw a smoky haze. The smoke is from fires in MT & ID. Later, we went sightseeing along the Minnewanka Lake where Pepe harassed a herd of Mtn. Goats. He fit right in. Anyone know why goat's lick the road (this is NOT a trick question)?

Tonight, we need to buy gas at 1.069 candadian dollars per liter. First one to figure out the cost in US dollars per gallon gets a prize from Kent.

We expect rain tonight & for the next several days. So, we have packed the tent & will sleep in the van to stay dry.

We are not sure about Internet access or cell service over the next few days so don't worry if you don't hear from us.
