Day 63 Aug 28 Wilcox Creek to Jasper 133 km



  I camped at the top of the pass only about 2 km from Icefields.






                           What!? 2.50$ just to connect?!











                         Rockies

































                          Down hill and tail wind



   I found this ACA Map yesterday on the side of the road, I already have one, so I gave it to the German guy Paul I met last night.  This morning I met a guy from Missoula Montana that lost it,  hehe



      This one is for my nephew Viktor, He loves kopary :)





























    Going down from Sunwapta Pass  i maxed out at 78 km/h with out even moving a pedal.









   I had to change














                            it's getting hot
















       







     My new Friend Rayman, He's from Vancouver, every summer for past 20 years or so, he travels on his bicycle to Alberta.
As soon as I stopped Rayman offered me power bar and I rolled him a cigarette.
We smoked while complementing each others bike :)



































          lunch, tuna fish and noodles, very good!






































                 Went for a short  hike






       Jasper !!!
















       Trans Canadian Railroad






















 


       Elk, big one too. My camera failed miserably, could be just me. On the way to my campsite I saw this huge Elk eating grass about 10 m from the road.

    Hey Wes,

    It's good to see that you're still on the road and making progress.

    We met just after you got into Yellowstone - the 2 guys in the car with our bikes on top, returning from our cross country trip.

    It seems like your plans have changed a bit. I don't remember you saying that you were headed that far north. Are you riding back to New Jersey?

    Best Wishes,

    Dale
