Woke up pretty early this morning. Weather was a nice 13 degrees. Decided to get some more kilometres on the dial.
So,after some toast and peaches with a side of yogurt,it was off to the gas station and some 94 octane at $1.22.9 a ltr.
First stop was at the Castle Mountain Chalets for a bathroom break and a refill on my H2O.
From there it was a left turn from here for a short distance to Morant’s Curve hoping for a train. Spent 2.5 hrs there and not a thing other than a group of Elk fording the Bow River and this utility truck. 2 guys spent about 10 mins pounding spikes or the rail. Not sure. They were making a lot of noise though.
I also chatted with a young couple from Sweden here who were bonkers over the Corvette. They have a 12 year old son who had stayed home because of school starting. I guess he’s quite the fan of North American cars. Loves Vettes,Vipers and Mustangs. They took about 20 pics or so. I also gave them my you tube channel for him to check out.
After a relaxing stay here I ventured up to the Lake Louise ski area day lodge. Oh the memories from working here in the 80s. The gondola is running and was not too busy actually. Could be the price to ride up and down maybe.
After going downstairs to the cafe for a burger and fries,I wandered around the lodge and came across this exhibit. Now this was pretty cool.
After checking this guy out it was outside for a little look around at how much as changed from the 80s......Not much has changed from the 80s.
