Big horned sheep that cross the road and sometimes stay for a photo op.
maps on the side of a tour van from Italy show where they have been and are going. They have logged over 100,000 miles in the last 2 years (all with only 2 tire problems)

Toni walking the dogs on one of the stops
stone sheep on the side of the mountain
rest areas are plentiful and serve for lunch stops as well as nap stops for the drivers. Beautiful areas to look at while the guys nap.
not all the folks traveling have a couch to nap on so you take your comfort where you can find it.
some of the mountains as seen across the valley
there were many hilly roads like this, some were in need of and being repaired.
The second bear we saw was wandering and eating alongside the road.
This bear was eating dandelions, we stopped for photos and it appears he may want to have lunch in Toni's coach.

First campground- a challenge to level Remi's coach. Watch that last step it could be a long one. (step wrong and you were down an incline into the bushes. Notice how jacked up the coach had to be for level.
Following our friends near one of the many lakes in Jasper National Park, Alberta.
This road really had it's ups and downs.

This was in a roadside park we stopped at. You could see the egg for quite a distance, as you will see below.

Saskatchewan/Alberta border and off to the adventures that lay ahead.
This border city is in both provinces, much like Kansas City is in two states.
Adding Saskatchewan to to the map-one more place to see and experience.
a lot of Saskatchewan was like the photo below until you got to a large city.
You knew you were in a small town when the first thing you saw was the elevators--either that or we were on the wrong end of town--nah.
This wheat art stood tall along the main street going through one of the cities in Saskatchewan.
This old house was between a split freeway - I would guess left from bygone days. Hard to get to and no place for the kids to play!!!!!!
