We have all certainly fallen in love with Jasper,
Alberta. Our campsite, Wapiti, fits our
every romantic idea of what we would like in a campground. It is rustic, remote, next to a roaring
river, surrounded by tall pines, private, and, as we now know, inhabited by
bears. Don won the gold star for seeing
the first one down by the dump station.
An early morning coffee by the Athabasca River drowns out
all sounds and leaves a person thinking he is all alone.
Don Showers and John can sniff out a bakery from miles
away. This one was especially good and
busy. We met a lot of interesting
people, and Karen became close friends with Weber, a Welsh corgi.
Jasper is filled with these hanging baskets. The flower lovers of our group, and who isn’t
one, took many pictures so that they could identify each type later. Thank you for digital imaging and the delete
button on the camera. It is hard to
remember the film days.
Weber, the corgi from above, had recommended a walk around
the Lac Beauvert which is where the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is located. He certainly knew his stuff as we had a great
afternoon…especially listening to the mournful cry of the loons on the lake.
Gorgeous spot!!
