We were on the quest for a BC spoon for Becky. I must say that a valiant effort has been made and there has been considerable regret that Tim did not get the Toad River spoon. We went from McLeod Lake to Prince George. Prince George is a good sized city and the highway we needed fed through town. We pulled off for Tim to look for spoons. While waiting (Tim will tell this story different) we went and got groceries. In BC the groceries are outrageous priced and everything is taxed high. Tim swears off of eating at this time. The locals do everything they can to go to Alberta to get food and bring it back...like we go to Costco.
We saw the largest Saw mill we have ever seen outside of Prince George and on our way to McBride. I can't describe how big it was. The guys say that they liked McBride. (We are still looking for spoons and Tim is regretting that he did not get a spoon at Toad Creek)...yes I said that before and it is still true and he tells everyone about it.
On our way from McBride to Jasper, we came on Mt. Robson. It was spectacular to come around the corner and see that facing us. We stopped at the gift shop to look for spoons.
At Jasper, we gassed up the bikes and outside took 93 A loop to Athabascan Falls.


We were now back into the Ice fields and Glacier and Banff parks. (Had to pay park fees again ) The Athabascan Glacier is the one we described on our trip up. It is so big, they take tour buses out on it. We were on our way to Lake Louise.
At about 730 pm each night, we hit a wall and search for our resting point for the night. We have not had any trouble finding our desired spots. We stopped outside of Lake Louise at a Province (run by the state) Waterfowl Campground.
