At six AM we were in the service department of Okotoks Ford to try to get in line for a service appointment. Julie Niles, the service advisor, made us feel right at home and as if we were her only customer and concern.<\/p>\n

We were made to feel right at home, Ginger and all. Actually, Ginger was her usual self – attracted all the attention.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By 0900 Charli, the mechanic assigned to us, had found the problem (a loose hose), fixed it, replaced the coolant and we were on our way. No charge for labor and a discount on the coolant. A wonderful dealership staffed with caring and competent people. If you are in the area and need help they’ll be there for you.<\/p>\n

We wanted to take the Ice Road Parkway so we skirted around Calgary on 22 and then took Route 1 to 93, according to most sources the most beautiful road in North America. I have to admit I was stunned by the beauty of this road and the really good condition it was in. As usual, words fail so just enjoy the scenery.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I wonder why no one was swimming.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The water is an amazing blue green color.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The mountain vistas are stunning and around every corner.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
How about looking at that out your cabin door?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
I could pump gas here all day long! How many gas stations have you been to with this view?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“The road was a ribbon of highway…”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The Icefield Glacier – and hordes of tourists.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

They have built natural bridges so the bears, elk and other animals can cross over the road safely. Such a great idea!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Our home for the night, Whistler Campground. Beautiful secluded sites.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Our neighbors for the evening…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Apparently they prefer these but will snack on us if hungry enough.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That’s all for tonight. It has been a spectacular day. Tomorrow’s target is Grande Prairie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
