Travel Highlights              
This was a “work day” for me but considering I could not get an internet connection or cell service and the fact that I had several other work calls that were unavoidable later in the week, I worked via a calling card in the morning and then hit the road. We started out by finishing our journey up the Northern Saskatchewan mountains to the Ice Fields. They were impressive but it was so damn cold that we high tailed it back south as soon as we could. From the ice fields we had a two hour jaunt down to Lake Louise to see the famed view and then off to Banff. Both were beautiful but it is hard to compete with the last couple of days. Mostly I guess due to the fact that the last two days were packed with the unaltered majesty of nature whereas both Banff and Lake Louise have been seriously commercialized. I for one will always prefer the natural version. From Banff we were off to Calgary. The surroundings stayed stellar until about 30 minutes out of Calgary. Then things became seriously developed. Oh well, it had to come sooner or later I guess. We located Stampede and parked up the hill so I could make one of the required work calls then located a nearby hotel. Once we checked in we did laundry, caught up on some email, and got some sleep for the big day at Stampede.
