Canada!

After staying at the bed and breakfast for 2 nights we headed for Canada on Wednesday morning. Lucked out at the border and made it through in 15 minutes! These pictures are from 5/19 and 5/20.

Welcome to Alberta!
This is the only picture of Calgary, AB that I got. You can see the buildings skyline in the fog.

The bridge is the crossing for the wildlife. Was rainy, snowy, and foggy all day on Thursday, the 20th.

The first black bear we saw...Raymon was going to fast to stop so took a fly-by picture :)
Waterfall at one of the pull-offs we stopped at, thought it was an appropriate name for our honeymoon drive!
LLLOOONNNGGGG open roads!

We were driving across a bridge and Raymon saw these elk trying to cross it.

Another pull-off spot :)

In the velvet...

Lots of lumber yards, they were cool to see.

Welcome to British Columbia!!

The only picture of the Alaska Highway sign that I got, came up on us too fast :(

You can kind-of see the moose running off the road through the ditch~

Funny story about this bear...We were driving along and I told Raymon to turn around cuz I was almost positive there was a bear laying back there! So he reluctantly turned the truck around in the middle of the road and when we get back to the spot this black bear is laying there dead with a TRUST JESUS sign nailed to the tree right beside him...the rest of the trip he teased me for making him turn around so I could take a picture of a dead bear!
