SATURDAY July 7th, 2007
Mike turns 46 in Banff NP. It turns out God is smiling on us as the day is spectacular all day. We drive NW on Hwy 93 (Icefields Parkway) toward Jasper. First stop, Lake Louise. Awesome views. We did get to see an avalanche as the continues to recede. The greenish tint of the water is due to the ground stone under the glacier being carried by the water running under the ice into the lake.We filled the tank on this RV – ½ a tank that is. We are about 430 miles into our 2,500 mile Alcan journey. Gas cost was a $1.19 / litre or a bit over $4.50 / gallon. $140+ later we determine it is a long way to Anchorage.

I did my obligatory dip in this water - my minor obsessive compulsive disorder, I guess. I at least wade into some waters regardless of their temperature. Just no photo here.
