Snaring River

We got here about 30 minutes ago. The campground is in great
surroundings as you can see. It's a bit odd because there are no
attendants. You just sort of drive around, pick a site then put money
in an envelope and put it in a locked box. The wood is also self-
serve. Our campsite is bear the woodpile. Francis will have as long a
campfire as he wants here!

We saw longhorn sheep and an elk on the way in. We stopped to take
pictures. They were less than 30 feet away from us. Quite amazing. The
water in the picture is perfectly clear and absolutely freezing!

We booked the campsite for 2 nights and will take a day trip tomorrow
to visit the Jasper area. Possibly find a good day hike.

It's hard to imagine how much distance is between here and Ottawa.
5000 kms or so! Lucy is a trooper to have driven us this far. :)
