And on, and on

Castle Mountain wreathed in low clouds

CANMORE, AB - - 10,000 miles down and a bit more to go in the nearly 2 months until we get home.  We like the Canadian Rockies.  Sometimes they like us.  Sometimes they don't.  Rain and low clouds today; rain and low clouds tomorrow.  Fortunately we know the location of coffee shops and supermarkets in a number of towns. 
      Canmore is a mountain bike and ski bum paradise we discovered about 10 years ago.  Nice atmosphere, good coffee shops and plenty of places to stock up on supplies.  We need the supplies to stockpile because the campgrounds we stay in are mainly off the beaten path...and usually the only ones which have vacancies.  Last night and tonight we're in Yoho National Park.  Yoho is one of the five "Friends in High Places."  Five parks in the Rockies - - Yoho, Glacier, Banff, Jasper and Kootenay.  Kicking Horse Campground,  our accommodation last night and tonight (bears included if you leave garbage out overnight) is surrounded by mountains. Great views and the sound of rushing streams.  The rain is good for something.
