’09 Rocky Mountain Rally!

June 15th, 2009

This years Rocky Mountain Rally was much more enjoyable day than last year as the weather was %1000 better with not a drop of rain!

I only got out for the Saturday but I had a good time, met some good folks and got some good photos I think.

Drive on the Bow Valley Parkway

June 9th, 2009

One of my favorite (paved) roads is the Bow Valley Parkway west of Banff. It is a lovely road to drive and reminds me of old highways from my youth. Barely two lanes wide (sometimes one) trees right at the edge of the pavement.

I’ve never really given the commonly sighted mountain sheep much notice, just slowed down and got around them. But on this day we were already stopped and they wander onto the road so we watched them for a while. Fairly amusing critters, I won’t count them out so easily next time!
