Whislers Campground, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada


This was a chores day – laundry and more groceries.

It started out interesting, though. As I was getting ready to leave, the woman camped next to me said there were 2 elk bedded behind my trailer. Sure enough, 30 feet or so away:





This is the calf, mom is to the left, but I didn't want to get any closer and there are lot of trees. Maybe they'll be back.

The rest of the day was laundry, in the same basement laundromat I used 5 years ago, and groceries that need to be refridgerated – because the store is much closer to the camp than in Banff.

The rest of the day was trying to escape the heat. It got into the lower 90s today. It's supposed to do it again tomorrow and then cool off starting Saturday.

This was from just over a mile away: And, of course, none compare to the Canon stuff at close range:

Tuesday, May 15, 2018 Mammoth Campground, Yellowstone It was a short day. After spending a chilly morning watching the den: I headed back to camp for lunch. Along the way, I found a black bear – walking across the Yellowstone River bridge! I took that picture through the windshield just as he was leaing the bridge. All the people behaved. The cars coming the other way stopped and waited for him to cross while the line I was in stayed well enough behind that he just walked all the way – right down the centerline. After lunch, I took a nap – for 3 hours! That kind of did my day in.
