I did an almost 3000KM solo, two-province, 10-night, trip in my 34 year old campervan. I stopped by and saw my son, sister and an old friend along the way but mostly I did things on my own.
I paddled in Waterton and Kooteny Lakes, caught a replica 1880s RCMP musical ride at Fort Macleod, danced with the Blackfoot in a pow-wow at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, saw the zoo and dinosaur museum, a Harry Potter broom cottage industry, bought fresh fruit grown in the Creston Valley of British Columbia, saw the Columbia Icefield in the Rockies and the bear statues at Jasper. Saw real bear, elk and wild sheep. I could have popped down to the USA because I was only 6KM from the border but didn’t (MAGA era).
Came back with a can-do attitude and a race against the clock before winter settles in once again.
