We have spent the last 2 nights in Prince George…a city of 70,000 people. We felt like we were uptown…had a Costco, Walmart and a Canadian Superstore. We even had a casino that we visited a couple of times…it was pretty much a break even situation for us at the end. It was not a huge casino but the entire building is smoke/alcohol free. I believe there was one bar area but no drinking allowed at the machines…we liked it. Not much else to report about Prince George except that we were able to get our car washed…that is a big thing up here. Our vehicles get so dirty but that should improve now that we are in Canada and the roads are paved. I choose to call the dirt a “protective covering”.
We are on the road to Jasper, Alberta to the Canadian Rockies. Again we went through some construction…here is one of the flagmen.
Cissy tried to catch a nap.
But it’s not always easy.
We arrived in Jasper National Park. We did not get in until early evening so we did not venture out from the campground. At 8:00 a program on some of the animals we might find in the park was presented at the amphitheatre by one of the park personnel. She involved several of the children in the audience in the presentation. She did a great job and the kids were outstanding as they took on the roles of cougars, fish and birds. An hour well spent. Unfortunately, I forgot to take my camera.
Friday morning Bob and I poked around some of the shops in town and then drove out to the canyon for a bit of a walk. The pictures do no begin to show how beautiful this place is. 
Before leaving Jasper, Mark takes time for a needed oil change on their Phaeton.
On the Icefield Parkway bound for Lake Louise.
Moving On.
