Friday, June 12, 2009



The picture of the white cross was taken in Montana. The state erects these at the locations where people have lost their lives in traffic accidents. We think this is so special. Many of the crosses have flowers or other mementos hanging on them.

Friday was a long, 351-mile day. Our goal was to reach Lake Louise campground in Banff National Park. We had tried to get a reservation there and were told the campground was full but there was an overflow area on a first come, first served basis. We hit Calgary at the evening peak traffic and experienced quite a delay. When we reached the campground around 7:30, we found they had plenty of spaces available. The check-in person said they were not on the reservation system yet because it was too early in the season. I guess the reservation people, who are not on site, assumed it was full.
