Ok this is just getting ridiculous...Eh!!

Sunday, August 31st.

The title to this blog is appropriate because I think that's what we both said when we woke up early this morning. Sure it was nice and warm in our trailer as our little heater was just a working a way to keep it that way. But on the outside, it was pouring rain and very cold - near freezing anyway. Just another one of those miserable mornings where you wake up and have to go to the bathroom but in order to do that, to leave the warmth of the trailer, you have to put on like 3 layers of clothes and this time, we had to take an umbrella along too. This is just getting ridiculous.

Bambi got up and drove over to the office while I headed off to the shower. She pulled up weather.com and checked the forcast for where we were going. Our intentions at this point were to head further North - up to Banff, Calgary, Lake Louise and Jasper to see the ice fields. But, it was just cold and only getting colder. Now, I often tease Bambi on the fact that it can take her a while to make decisions sometimes. But not this time. One look at that 7 day forcast for the Banff area revealed freezing temperatures and constant rain mixing with snow and she made her decision. She's really been wanting to see Banff for a long time but this is not the way to do it we decided. We'll just have to go back sometime when it's warmer!

We made our decision. We'd head for the West coast!! So drive...drive...drive we did.

Before leaving the Glacier area for good though, we stoped to see the Canadian side and got some breakfast in Waterton AB which is inside the Canadian side. We ate our breakfast at a great little restaurant called Zumms and really enjoyed it. We also stopped to see the Prince of Whales hotel right near there. This hotel was old like it's American counterpart in Glacier but had the look of a Swiss Chalet which was cool.

But it was time to go - Head West where the sun still shines!!

We took Highway 3 all the way to the coast eventually. We stopped along the way to spend the night in Castlegar. We found another RV park with the luxury of electricity and WiFi and went into town to eat at a Bostons Grill. After a long day of driving, we were just both tired and ready to call it a day. Highway 3 across southern Canada was beautiful already, but as we'd find out the next day, we hadn't seen anything yet!!
