Days 7 & 8 -- Waterton Lakes

Hello peeps

thanks for following along on Sheila & Glen's Excellent Adventure

today we are on day 7 but in real life the travellers are on day 30 if you can believe it

we've got a lot of catching up to do here so lets get a move on it

day 7 we woke up to pelting down rain

we keep hearing how hot and dry it is back home when we texted to

 let them know we were alive and well

we travelled south of Calgary on Hwy 22 towards Waterton Lakes 

and went  through a small town of Bragg Creek

the devestaion from the recent floods was obvious in the small communtity

the bridge was still out so we were detoured through Okatoks

a good road and a nice drive on Hwy 22

rolling hills, tons of cattle, mountains to the west and even a whole bunch of windmills

after a little regroup of campsites we found a great private site just 

outside of the Waterton Lake Park 

 the weather network says sun tomorrow yeah !!!!!!

the next day {day 8} we wake up to SUN... thank you weather network

got some odd jobs done around the trailer 

before getting on our way to tour the Waterton Village

first stop was the bison paddock

we got a good view of quite a few mature bison and some little ones too

this is the picture I would have sent to my ghost writer if I could get it off of my camera

then on to the village where we took a little drive around 

checked out the town a little, had a bite to eat outside 

so Missy was happy to sit with us

I am so lucky the bear turned right as I was taking this picture {tong firmly planted in cheek}

after a little drive around the town we headed back to the campsite

where we spotted a bear on the drive back

or in our case it's the other way around

  and we also saw 2 deer when we were in the village

one of which Missy wanted to take on

had our first campfire of the trip here

had a lovely evening sitting out by the fire

on the road tomorrow

where we just might see some buffalo with smashed in heads

if you are reading a long with us we would love to 

hear from you so leave us a comment to two
