Headed Home - Day Seven
June 10th
Calgary, AB to Home!
7.0hrs and 705kms
We are on our final leg home. We left Calgary and pointed west once again! Weather was nice and as we were driving Jan said we should take some pictures from here to home! We drive it so much but we never take any pictures!
So now you know why there are so many photos!
 |
| Leaving Calgary with the Rocky Mountains in the distance |
 |
| This really is a beautiful country |
 |
Must be going to Alaska
Two generators and four jerry cans of gasoline! |
 |
| Interesting formation of soil |
 |
The Juniper Motel is just outside of Banff
We went to our good friends Rick & Cindy's wedding here in 1980 |
 |
| Last of the spring run-off |
 |
| More paving along the route |
 |
| Lots of truck traffic outside of Golden, BC |
 |
No there's a job!
Hanging over the side of the bridge? |
 |
| Two workers hanging off the crane |
 |
| Glacier National Park |
 |
| Rocky Mountains |
 |
| We came across a semi-truck roll over |
 |
| There was no traffic holdup |
 |
| Hope no one was hurt? |
 |
| Going to take some time to get this sorted out. |
 |
| Tunnel construction had two lanes of traffic where there should have been one |
 |
| Which caused a tight squeeze when the motorhome was meeting a semi-truck |
 |
| This tunnel had normal traffic |
 |
| Roger's Pass |
 |
Summit of Rogers Pass
Beautiful day for a drive |
 |
| First Lupins we saw on the trip |
 |
| On the west side of the Rockies |
 |
| Another train for Jan! |
 |
| Driving along the Shuswap Lake |
 |
| Outside of Sicamous BC is a large fleet of house boats for rent |
 |
| Do you need a hubcap? |
 |
| There has been little rain and hot weather, already one crop of hay off of the fields |
We are home now!
