Less wind today so the drive from Banff was not bad although it was 270 miles long. We try to keep the driving to about 5 hours each day. We had reserved a campsite on the south end of town, but things just didn't work out. The roads were closed. We took the long way around town only to find out that the campground had no WIFI despite their advertising. Next time I will ask specifically when I make the reservation. I have work to do for Anoka and need the connection.
Rick was pretty tired as we drove to the northwest part of town to another campground. This one is great though. It has a nice laundry (never thought I would care so much about laundry) good WIFI, and is near many shops. We are also just a few miles from the big Edmonton Mall.
The freeways in Canada have odd entrances and exits which may be left or right without much signage. The rest stops are not marked on any of our maps and come up without much notice on the freeway. Since this is where we like to stop for lunch it has been pretty inconvenient. Today our lunch was on a wide place in the road for truckers to pull over and check their loads. Not scenic at all with traffic whizzing by just a couple yards for our window and only a full trash can for amenities. Oh for Minnesota-style reststops everywhere! No pictures today - pretty much just ordinary highway and traffic so I am posting some pictures of the Hoodoo lookout which was just a short walk down from our campground in Banff.
