Day 18 - May 31st



Me on Cody, Photo courtesy of WerniWhen I woke up I had thought it was a warm night. But the crunch of the frost under my feet on the way to the shower sort of shot that theory down in flames. We packed up and took off. On the way we saw a coyote milling around a big red patch on the road (must have been a deer I suppose), then half an hour later eagle eye Jo spotted a Moose in the distance, very distant but at least it was a moose. We passed through the town of Clearwater (lots of Helisking around) and past Mt Robinson (the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies - 3984ish m).

Happy Birthday DiWe hit camp at this ranch place where we were booked in to do some horseriding. We went down to saddle up for our horses. Being honest I put the hand up and said that I had never been on a horse before. The dude give me a horse called "Cody". To make a long story short it was a psycho horse. The problem was that this horse did not like other horses behind it and the horse behind me wanted to go.. He gave me a hard time all the way. Bucking a few times, even once when we were on the trot......Yeeeee haaaaa. Just like a rodeo star NOT. That night it was Di's birthday party. We saved dinner and cranked up a huge fire. A good nite was had as Jess waking around with a bud box on her head and Bob nearly going Arse over head sort of proved it.

Back to Canadian Parks West Page or on to Day 19.
