Had a hell of a time, no radio, no TV, no worries!

Oh yea no WiFi either, did you guys miss me? I didn't miss the internet, Another myth dispelled.

I think i will do a permanent camping trip if the SHTF.

My clan are the best at building and maintaining a fire well into the night. We ate hella good.

We out did all others trying to keep up.

Mainstream society is for the birds.

We went into town once to check it out.

Wall to wall tourist types from Asia, India, etc etc etc, no one speaking English. It was like an invasion.

Headed her back to the hills in a hurry. Back to the good life.

Oh yea heading back into town, a small city of around 90,000 this afternoon the cops had several vehicles and a couple of motorcycles on the highway setting up a check stop.

Business must be hella slow to do this in mid summer during daylight hours.

Had half a mind to turn the truck around and head back where i came from.

Yea, climbed a few trails high into the mountains saw some awesome waterfalls.

Swimming in glacial lakes close to the top.

Canoeing in Emerald Lake Yoho national park, jumped out of the canoe mid lake and swam to the shore (which is against the rules)

Hell one more rule or law and i think i'm gonna have a coronary!

Got soaked climbing up to the spray on this one.

Banff National park Alberta, then traveled over kicking horse pass into Yoho National park BC, didn't do any fishing this trip too short, maybe next time.

Also i found out about this on the day we left, would have loved to do it.

Next time!
