Day 9. On the long, long road again

We need to cover about 2,000 miles over the next 4 days. We headed north out of Banff at about 8:00am. We stopped for coffee & scones at Wild Flour one last time. We did a little sightseeing at Lake Louise, but Pepe was not impressed by all the Japanese tourists.

We drove through the Columbia Icefields & out of Banff & Jasper National Parks. Then we find several great little deserted backroads while heading north. Pepe said "the roads are "matsugu." Meme will give a prize for the correct translation.

As we neared Dawson Creek, we saw several elk farms. That must make elk hunting easy since there are hundreds to choose from.

The answer to the liter to gallon question is -- 1 gallon = 3.785 liters. That makes gas in Canada cost about $4.20 per gallon at equal exchange rates.

We are now in British Columbia & have reached the Pacific time zone, so we are now 3 hours behind you.
