September 2017
We wake to a brisk 0 C or 32 F but it is just gorgeous as we walk to the lodge for coffee. Seriously, for the price here you think they'd have a coffee pot in the room! Room Service would be crazy, as it is a distance from the main lodge.
We were warned that there were elk about and it was rutting season, no sightings but they were obviously around!
As we left these locals were crossing the road.
We lose an hour on this portion.
We drove into Jasper but didn't stop not as pretty as Banff or Whistler.
Nope, no WILDLIFE again.
We lose sight of the magnificent Rockies as we move further into Alberta.
Tim Horton beckons us for breakfast sandwiches.
There is a sign saying there is smoke but this seems more like fog.
We detour as I see a sign for the wheat elevator museum.
It doesn't appear to be open.
Our GPS takes us to a nice suburban neighbourhood, half an hour from our destination, that's what happens when you enter avenue instead of street!
We check into the West Edmonton Mall Inn, booked on points, across from the mall, entrance 6.
As we enter it is restuarants and bars.
Nothing to identify the sculpture.
Paying tribute to the oil workers, but no sign on the sculpture.
Lots of fun in the Haloween store.
