On to Banff, which even in June is stuffed to the gills with people and hotel rooms cost $250/night and up. Not quite sure why, because although it's kind of nice in a very structured way - sort of like Niagara on the Lake, but bigger. And there are just a scenic places in BC, because we went past them as we got further into the interior. I'd forgotten how majestic the BC Rockies are and just how few people live in the big spaces between the towns. Anyway we happened to spy this advice on the local church notice board.
"Some questions cannot be answered by Google"
Which is a bit of a game changer as I have been operating under the assumption that Google will always give you an answer, it just may be wrong or have misinterpreted your question. It leads me to wonder what insights the Presbyterians have into these matters. I take a moment to pause. Must find one of these Presbyterians. Deep thinkers indeed.
Here we are on our campsite near Tunnel Mountain. Quite pleasant I have to say, and came with
UNLIMITED firewood and a crazy good firepit with a fantastic hinged cooking grate. Made a very nice steak, baked potato and grilled corn on the cob supper.
The new tent proved a mighty success as well we fitted two single bed sized grand teton cots (super comfy and super sturdy) into it. The standing height was just over 6', so great for me.
