Canadian Rockies Part 1 - BC


Road trip time!  A couple of weeks ago Kerry and I set off for Canada.  Since words can hardly do these places justice I'm just going to slam a bunch of pictures in here with some quick captions.  In short, the trip was awesome. Saskatchewan makes Nebraska look like a theme park and the Canadian Rockies are truly amazing.  

Inukshuk in the middle of nowhere

After a late night of driving, Kerry was happy to sleep in the car and not set up the tent.  It was a perfect night for stargazing so I crashed on the picnic table.  We were back on the road early in the morning.
