Today was a leisurely travel day to go a short hop and not really too much to write about. The driving distances won't be as much now that I am in my new home state. Not a very good night's sleep last night so I woke up rather late. I got around, had breakfast, went … Continue reading Day Eleven – September 20, 2012

Got to Lake Louise (the actual lake and not the town) and was pleasantly surprised there was hardly anyone there … Continue reading Day Seven – September 16, 2012
