In Yellowknife

I think I broke some records for the amount of time it took me to get to Yellowknife. The only thing that slowed me down were the bison on the McKenzie Highway. They were all over the side of the road and I was told not to speed by them as they will ... Read more >

On The Road AGAIN

Fri, 10 Aug 2007 | By iiavet | Views [446]

Today we drove back to Calgary. Uncle Mark told stories to Kona in the car and she couldn't get enough of them. We saw a big horn sheep on the way home too. All in all it was a much nicer drive (an hour faster as well) than the one out.
