James is 18 today. Legal age in Alberta, and we arrived in Alberta today. The highway from Prince George to Jasper hasn't changed - there is still nothing in between the two and it is a fairly easy drive.
There is no cell coverage on the majority of the highway. It is amazing that as you cross the border into Alberta, the phone pings and you have coverage - how do they do that? I wonder how long they had to plan to decide where the cell towers needed to be to exclude BC.
Another interesting thing today was the gas prices. In past years we have noted that Jasper is expensive for gas. This year, it is 10 cents cheaper than in BC. Carbon tax and HST definitely take their toll.
We took James to Earl's for a birthday dinner. Unfortunately the seafood pasta had butter and he had a reaction. Home to the trailer to have allergy medicine and lactaid (and some plain pasta cooked by mom).
