Mountain Pictures - another flat tire - Wildlife

 Here is what was left of our tire.  We check the tires at every stop so we must have picked up a nail along the way.  So that is 2 blowouts, 8 new tires and one flat fixed in the last year.


Here are some pictures taken at the top of Whistler's Mountain.

Jasper with the mountains in the background.

 Kathie took this one of me with the townsite of Jasper below me.

Looking south west.

 And here we are with Mt Robson in the distance behind us.

I had Kody out for a walk Sunday morning in the campground at Jasper.  The signs said that the elk were really protective because it was calving season and we were not to approach the elk (duh).  In addition there is a grizzly around looking to make one of the calves his dinner.  So Kody and I were walking and we saw a female elk (elkette?).  We turned around and walked away from her and she followed us and even trotted to close the distance between us.  We walked faster and made a beeline for the trailer.  The elk stopped about 50 yards from the trailer to graze.  Maybe she wanted to play with Kody because Kody wanted to play with her.

The bears we saw east of Prince George were brown black bears.  There were a number of them.  I had not seen brown black bears before.
