It was another great day for riding as we departed Grande Cache and headed out toward Jasper park. We did about 100 miles and the guys stopped for breakfast in Hinton. The last couple of days gas has been in short supply around Alberta and one clerk said that a storm had knocked out 2 refineries in Edmonton and that was why. We have not had a problem so far acquiring fuel. The guys had breakfast at Smitty's and none of them cleaned their plate - no lolli-pop for them today. We left Hinton behind and continued toward Jasper. We entered the park and stopped in the actual town of Jasper so that John could get his park passport stamped. We then continued on through the park and through the area know as the ice fields for the glaciers there. It was a beautiful ride seeing the glaciers and moving through the curves and passes. We stopped in a roadside park for lunch and then headed on out to our final detination for the day of Cranbrook BC. We arrived just in time to have dinner and cover the bikes before a big thunderstorm came through the area. Tomorrow back to the USA and on to Helena Montana. Todays ride covered 456 miles.
