Stepped out of the tent today, (first use of it) and looked down at the village of Banff with the taste of victory on my tongue. Last night Wanderhoof and I found NO vacancy anywhere in Banff. So, massive backpacks in tow, we hiked up the side of Tunnel Mountain with flashlights and the iPod dock pumping jams to thwart hungry cougars. Just as we found a suitable spot to make camp, we hear a rustling in the bush not 15 feet away from us. The beams of our flashlights swiftly met at the source of the sound only to reveal to us one quite indifferent doe. Ha, that was good for a laugh.
We're making great time from Yellowknife; the mission when we left was to meet the Slowpokes, (Nathan, Sari and Kyla) at the grocery store in Salmo. We weren't sure if we would make it on time when we left. Now it looks like we'll be locals by the time they get there! Can't wait to see the look on those faces. Can't wait for the festival to start! Shambhala 2009.
pictures are from the last couple days; andrew and i driving into edmonton, one is of our "living room" outside the calgary bus depot. ps. DON'T TAKE BUSES. AND I HATE CALGARY.
