Glacier joy riding


Tuesday August 30, 2016

   This morning Mary, Jim and I drove back north on the Icefields Parkway to see the Athabasca Glacier. It was about a 2 1/2 hour drive to the visitors center. 

   I had a bit of a scare when I stopped for gas. I put my logbook and prepaid ticket on the roof of the car when I was filling up and I drove away with them still up there.

   I realized after a few minutes what happened and doubled back to find the book and ticket laying in the street with tire tracks on them from being run over. It was a lucky morning for sure.

   At the visitors center we had nice lunch then boarded a bus for the glacier. We transferred to a large Snow Cat that drove up right onto the ice for a walk about.

   We made it back to the hotel just in time for the family farewell dinner. A terrific day for us.
