Sunday, May 6, 2012–Lake Louise to Alberta Friends’

We drove to Lake Louise, saw an elk on the way - no photo.

While I am a little disappointed not to see the lake's pretty turquoise water, it was a treat to see it iced over and all the snow.

As we drove today, we stopped often for more mountain photos plus some pretty water photos.
This is a bridge built across the Alaska Highway for animals to cross. There are webcams on them that I want to check out when I have Internet again!

After turning at the Saskatchewan River Crossing, we saw three different flocks of bighorn sheep - what a thrill!! One flock was over 30 sheep including several rams - we took many photos!
This is the guardian of the first sighting.

We stopped in Red Deer at the Red Deer Buffet - weren't terribly impressed. Then it was on to our friends’, Leo and Ellen, farm. After a warm welcome, getting the camper set up and a nice walk on their property, Ellen and I beat the guys at Cribbage!
