Episodes

Made it into Canada on Sunday and drove to Banff. A beautiful location, but construction and lots of people drove us out. I didn’t need to shop in a city. We ended up at a city park along the river to have lunch from supplies. The notice on the Game Warden Board prominently displayed in the center of the path was that there was bear activity in the area and to be cautious. We had lunch with about 50 others coming in and out of the park. We headed to Lake Louise and the hiking path around the lake was also quite busy. It was Sunday, so lots of people out for day trips.
While we were in Buffalo Wyoming we read a sign about a General’s wife who talked about the activity of the encampment. She mentioned “little episodes” happen within the camp among the people. We have been having some of those episodes as well, though our encounters are brief. We met a family from Gibralter whose kids played stick with Molli. This morning we also met John and Bean. Bean is the local Alpha Male dog in the dog walk area. Beans owner stopped to talk for a few minutes and to tell us about a bear encounter he had over the week end while Horseback camping. We will be careful and we also know that Molli’s jingling tags will help keep the bears away. If they know they are around, the bears will avoid. Interesting people we met because of our dog. Episodes along the way!
