Canada day one and two

We have been without Internet so it will be very hard for me to remember everything. It's been weeks since I could make a post.  We arrived in Banff  National Park and camped right in the park. It costs $32.10 per day with electric only but the sites were lovely and the shower houses great and you are right in the park close to everything.

We went to visit the hot springs which were a big draw for tourism in the early years of the park.  

I would like to have put my sore shoulders in the hot springs but they were only open at one spot and it was $7.00 a dip.

At one time the building that now houses the Museum was a big hot springs pool. The Cave and Basin as this area is called was the start of Canada's National parks.  It was the first place to be designated as National Land.

Canada is full of lakes.  This is Johnson Lake.

Much as I love the country and being out ---there is no way I could live  in that for 27 years!!

These pictures were taken with a special effects soft lens.  I don't like it.

Here's one of the lake without the filter.

Nicky is having great fun with the Prairie dogs which are all over outside our camper.

I'd love to be giving a lot more information but I am on the campground Internet for a limited time in a Canadian campground.
