Thanks Graham. I’m finding stuff I haven’t seen for quite awhile actually. Just over 2500 kms since mid July and all of it has been mountain cruising. Pending the 3 days of rain forecast,planning to wander up the Icefields Parkway to one of the photo stops Paul had picked for the 2017 LL cruise. Maybe Thursday.

Here’s another selection of rare pictures in the Lake Louise Station. These are original Byron Harmon and Nicholas Morant prints. Not reproductions. Rummel lake in Kananaskis country is named after the lady on skis.

Thanks for sharing @MikeysZ06 ...
I've left chuckling reactions only because of trying to relate
to either the quandary of
Driving your Corvette on an open Mountain Road that is virtually all to yourself
and
Capturing the opportunity with Rocky Mountaineer in an awesome scenic outlook
and
then getting BOTH

Every now and then the opportunity knocks Spence. Hopefully next week we time things right.

Funny you say that Murray. . I was looking at replacing them later in the week. Mine actually work pretty good when they’re off. No wind hitting them at all !
