Who said FJR's don't do dirt?
As many already know, I embarked on an solo road trip to Calgary and points inbetween. I pulled out of San Jose at about 7:30 am on 8/18. With a campground secured at Del Norte, I was on my way.
First stop, the Golden Gate
Dino's at a nursery on 1. They did some nice work on them.
A bit farther down the road I ran into a herd of elk.
Mystery Trees in Ca. They were closed when I got there unfortunatly.
Destination 1. I arrived at 7:30pm and the ranger keosk was due to close at 7:45! Wheew, just made it!
It was sprinkling as I made camp for the night, and about 1/2 an hour later it was like someone urned on the shower. It rained the whole night, and 1/2 way thru Or.
A strange site to see along a road miles from water. Thats a real steel ship turned into a gift shop
Part way thru Or, I hit the Prehistoric Guardens. Wierd place, but cool in its own rights. Apperently these are full scale Dino's made out of concrete.
Next stop, McMinville and the Evergreen Aviation Museum to check out the Spruce Goose, damn that thing is HUGE!
They even had an SR71 tucked under the wing of the Goose.
On to Seattle to spend a couple days with my Brother and some friends up there. Puget sound sunsets are hard to beat.
Canadian Customs. They actually let me cross!
Ran across this in BC somewhere. I missed the sign stating what it was tho. Definatly wierd in my eyes tho.
BC is just HUGE. The pics don't do justice to the scale of the place. My awe meter went haywire
I hit Golden around 8:30 and tried to secure a hotel room. They wanted $150 a night! Nutz. So I called ahead to a friend in Calgary and decided to push on the last 200 or so km to Calgary. Calgary at night is beautiful.
The next day my friends and I caged it back to Banff to check out the sites I missed on the way thru.
Canadas idea of a waterfall.
If he only knew I'd been doing a buck-30 thru parts of BC and AB the night before... Those Hella FF50's and Garaulds brackests paid for themselves this trip!
One of Banff's springs
One of the main reasons I wanted to hit Banff This trading post has something wierd hidden in the back room.
Supposidly a merman
They also had a really cool museum next door. Buffalo Nation Indian Museum
