June 21st

We are up to day 5 of our Alaska Trip, and the internet has not been good so here goes with some pictures of what has been going on.
Day one orientation and dinner:
Cyndy & Linda are making sure everything is set for our fist dinner with our guest.
Yes, we have a photo bomber in this group!!!!
We serived pulled pork, backed beans, and coleslaw, one of our guest brought doubled eggs, because at the boarder there is no raw chicken or eggs allowed in Canada.
It looks like everyone got plenty to eat.  By now you may be wondering where are all the men?  This trip is called RVing Women to Alaska, and there is one other couple with us.  Bob calls himself the token man, because Ted & Wil are required to be here.  It is a great group and we are having a lot of fun.
Our first bus ride and we are heading to Remington Carriage Museum and then on to Head Smashing in Buffalo Jump.
Here are a few pictures from the Carriage Museum, if you are ever near this place it is a must stop.  They have hundreds of different types of carriages.







We even got to go on a 20 minute carriage ride.  Next stop is the Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump.

 THis young lady was very good about telling us about her people and how they went about getting the Buffalo and how they used all of the parts of them to live on.  Another must see place.



This display shows how ther drove the buffalo off the cliffs.
It was a packed full day but we have one more thing for the guest and that is Dinner and a country how down.
 This is at the campground we were staying at called the "Great Canadain Barn Dance & Family Campground".  They put on a great meal and the entertainment was really good.


This is a family band and both of there kids can play up to 5 different instruments and do it very well.  We have watched these boys grow up over the years coming here and they are really great.
Yesterday we headed towards Calgary, AB for our next stop and here are a few pictures of the road trip.

 I didn't know if they were going to move or not, but as we slowed way DOWN they parted and let us threw.
 On our way we stopped at Fort Macleod a great place to learn a little bit more about the Mounted Police.


 Well that is about all the time I have today, on our way to the Heritage Park Tour here in Calgary.   More to come when we have internet.
