\n\t\t\t \t\n \"woke\n \t<\/a>\n\t\t <\/div>\n This was outside our window when I got up this morning – what can I say?<\/p>\n

We got an early start since all the housekeeping tasks were taken care of last evening.\u00a0 The only thing we had to do before we got on the highway was get some gas – no small feat with an RV in Banff.\u00a0 After filling up we got on the highway toward Lake Louise, about 30 miles away.<\/p>\n

Lake Louise is a fairly small lake that is surrounded, right down to the water, by huge mountains on three sides and a luxury hotel on the fourth.<\/p>\n

Canada’s Highway 1, the Trans-Canada Highway is a really nice road.\u00a0 From Banff to Lake Louise it runs North and South following the Bow River Valley.\u00a0 After Lake Louise it continues North for a while and then heads South, going around the mountains.\u00a0 There are some climbs and descents but nothing worse than you’d find on the U.S. Interstate Highways.\u00a0 Many miles of the road are two lanes while many more have been ‘twinned’ to 4 lanes.\u00a0 The scenery continues to be awesome.<\/p>\n

Revelstoke is a town and a National Park.\u00a0 We decided to stay at the KOA just East of Revelstoke town and visited the National Park which is basically a mountain.\u00a0 There is a road -26km long – up the side of the mountain with a short hiking trail and some meadows full of wildflowers at the top.\u00a0 We really enjoyed it..<\/p>\n

It looks like our “fuel starvation” issues are now fixed – no issues today.\u00a0 The trouble with replacing things in a ‘shotgun’ manner is that you don’t know what fixed it – the good thing is that it is fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \t\t\n\t\t\t\t
