Galbraith's May 19th 22nd

 Nice drive from Kettle Valley PP to Bruce and Pattie's place in Grand Forks. We had a great visit with them and her sisters, always fun to be around. Pattie's twin sister Nancy is building a house eleven k up the Granby River. Nancy has done a wonderful job designing her new home. She has 10 acres over looking the river with some river front. That will be nice when n the heat of the summer. We had a great time rehashing old memories and making new ones. Of course we ate too much. The weather was a mixture, we did get to sit out in the sun a couple of times.

Their neighbour has sheep and a couple of lambs found out they could squeeze through the fence too the nice green grass on B and P's side. When I went out to take the picture the dogs started barking, that's what the lambs are looking at.


Magpie, apparently a nuisance bird.

Off to Banff, after years of passing it by, we thought we would give it a try.

We wern't sure if these guys would let us pass but they just moved along wiithout any fuss. Till next time.

One of the main attractions in Skagway is the White Pass Railway. As it goes almost the same route to and from Whitehorse as driving, we decided not to bother with the train.  We drove back up the hill to take a few pictures. In the photo below, you can see the rail line just above the guard rail on the right, it goes up the valley, and back out on the mountain side on the left. The highway stays on this side of the main valley. There was supposed to be a geocache at this waterfall. We didn't find it, or the three other ones we looked for in Skagway. Looking down the valley towards Skagway. On the Thursday before we got there, a rock slide came down and hit the gangways and a cruise ship. There wasn't much damage but they had to call in the inspectors before they could move the ship. It came down right where the ship to the left is sitting. On the way to Dyea, now a ghost town, returning to nature. Skagway is the perfect tourist town, beautiful scenery, with the town very close...
