I am watching my breath in the dawn, at a picnic table close to the transmitting antennae hoping that the internet connection holds....trucks are going by on the highway, happy that no tourists are in their way, taking pictures of wildlife. Warner, Abby and Liz are sleeping in our little cabin, but in the distance there is an ancient chinese couple, wandering their campsite. We met in the bathroom at 5:21 a.m.

Here is a picture of Abby on our swing right after we checked in on the 21st:


and here are the girls in their bunks...


Warner happy in the camp kitchen:


Our first sighting of the local fauna--across from the coal mine on the way to Cadomin:


It's hot in Jasper...

but the girls find a way to cool off....


I love these flowers:


and the girls love the Miette Hot Springs...


I just lost the photo of Athabasca Falls I was about to post, but my fingers are too cold to keep typing and I just saw Warner poke his head out of the cabin...we don't have coffee, but at 8:00 I'll be able to get a cup in the office...
