Okotoks and Banff

Okotoks is a suburb of Calgary, Alberta.

Deer are everywhere and so relaxed in our company.

Enjoyed a campfire at Pincher Creek.

Great GeoCaching at Pincher Creek.

The yellow smiles show our finds.

Not sure what to say about this.  Art is in the eye of the beholder.  Personally I think her head is at odd angle.

These are standup cutouts at Pincher Creek of cattle.

Giant Lizzard between buildings at Okotoks.

Enjoying a beer and a ring toss competition.

An actual phonebooth converted to a small library.

Patient chipmunk waiting on a tourist to drop a snack in Banff at the Hoodoos.

Parks in Banff are pristine.

Enjoying a flight at The Three Bears in Banff

Look at the next slide about the story of the house surrounded by moose Lodge

So far the only moose we've seen. You're standing out in front of it

Cascade garden in the middle of Banff behind The administrative building.

Well everybody else is cooking in the South. This is our low for the day.

The views around Banff are hard to believe 

Sunshine Village a few miles out from Banff.

A 30-minute gondola ride gets you partially up the mountain to the meadow 

The view from the meadow 

The next day we went to the cave and basin in Banff 

The Hot springs used to be used for therapeutical reasons. Now it's not allowed because there is a snail that lives in it that is almost extinct.

Maybe our next camper.

If you read this, it'll help explain the cave.

One of our adventure Labs took us to the top of Norway mountain. 

One of our last geocaches was under a bridge and we had just finished it when a motorhome tried to make it under the bridge. 

The back wheels actually came off the ground when it hit.
