Day 5 Road Trip - Camping in Jasper " A Bear-y Good Experience"













Waking up just shy of 10am, Amin attempted free breakfast, but after spending too much time trying to rouse the Beauties, he missed out himself. The crew decided to head to the hot springs for a relaxing day. Surprisingly, it was hot. There were a lot of old people there for medicinal purposes. We were just hung over.

After packing up the Tomcat (Camaro) and leaving it for a nights rest at the Chalet in Banff, we piled into Pontiac Pete (aka The Sunfire) and traveled north through the Rockies to Jasper. One of the most breathtaking and picturesque drives of our entire trip. We stopped at Athabasca Glacier, and then continued on in search of goats. By the end of the journey, we'd seen an Elk, a bear, a family of Mountain goats and two eagles. With reports of a bear having to be chased from the campground earlier that day, camping in Jasper that night was to be Sacha's last - brought on by her fear of the imminent bear attack that was bound to take her life. Successful 1st camping night with pasta, smores, wine and lots of hot sauce.
