Today with Lake Louise in our sights at 56 miles, we headed out of Golden with a good
pull to the top of what they are calling Ten Mile Hill and at the top of that hill was about
15 miles of narrow back to back curves carved in the bluff. At least 1000 ft down to the
river on my co-pilots side and the same on the uphill side. After a few miles of that, I
caught up with a group of mini-winnies going about 20 mph. Had to follow that group
a good 8 miles before I had a chance to pass the whole damn bunch on a passing hill
with an unknown amount of cars behind me.....the rest of the drive was good road.
So as we head into Lake Louise following the signs, we cross a narrow bridge and on
the other side in all their glory in small print the sign reads Not recommended for
large RVs, so not knowing what was ahead we unhooked. Now having to back out
with cars honking trying to get around me as I force them to back up as I backed across
this narrow bridge to get turned around. Then we had to find a place to park with the
real buses.
After we drove up in the car, we would have been fine going up in the bus as they had
a damn parking lot up there for Buses.
OK-Lake Louise- the glacier backdrop helps make to Lake....other than that Spirit Lake
has it beat hands down and they are both just a memory.
We are in Calgary tonite in another one of those BIG RIG FRIENDLY campgrounds
more suited for a VW bus and piss poor WI FI at a big price because they are
convenient.
Will see how things go in Calgary tomorrow. Pretty busy town with lots of traffic and
lots of crazy road signs.
