Day 70: Wednesday, August 11th: Yellowhead Highway 75 miles outside of Prince George to the Ice Fields Parkway

When we stopped to make dinner last night we met an incredible couple, Mary and Gordon, who were on their way back home to Edmonton after having their four grand kids and their friends for three weeks in their truck trailer. Mary was so friendly that Brooke was sad when they started to go, and whispered in my ear.  They wanted to know what she said.  She said she wanted Mary to play on the playground with her. Mary, who had grandma shining from every bit of light around her, didn’t seem so confident about climbing the equipment or sliding down the slides, but she did it for a three year old she had only just met. Brooke and I were very grateful for the ten minutes Mary spent playing “princess castle” with Brooke while Scott was busy making dinner and I was busy feeding Cody.

Day 24: Saturday, June 26th

Today we are headed to what Scott calls “Stifler Falls” or really Siffleur Falls.  It isn’t on any of our maps, but it was a recommendation from a guy named Chris Scott talked with at our campsite in Drumheller.  It is not easy to find, well at least for us.  After passing it up by ten miles, we are here! :-)  It turns out it is a very popular trail.  It was just under five miles and two and a half hours, but we took our time when we were overlooking the falls.  This photo is of the first ten minutes of this hike.  Brooke was hanging onto my leg begging me to carry her.  Scott finally scooped her up and after twenty minutes of her complaining about being hungry and then finally fed, we finally had a peaceful hike.
