Today was great. Probably the first time this spring that it has actually felt like spring touring, go figure! I loaded up the Kia, drank a whole pot of coffee and shot down the road towards the Burstall Pass parking lot, breakfast bagel and more coffee in hand and stoke in the mind. A nice tour takes you through forests and canyons before entering the toe of the french glacier which leads up to the Haig glacier and the sunshine. A good lunch of cheese, bread, chocolate and yet more coffee ensued before heading up and over the Haig to Robertson col. A stellar run takes you to the valley bottom and the plus temperatures. Big thanks to Ally, Bill, Tom and Marg for letting me tag along during the bootpack up the the col as well as the descent-good company!

Hi Ross - finally found you - out in the backwoods of the mountains. Should have guessed. Good to see you living your dreams & enjoying that white stuff so much. Here your uncle went straight to the cupboard after shovelling for 2 hours and poured himself a "schnapps". It was 9:00 in the morning but we will try to look more kindly at that white stuff since we know you are enjoying it so much. If you ever leave the backwoods and come down to the wheat fields of Edmonton be sure to stop in and see us. We really miss you. Take care & be safe. Your Godmother.
