Day Five
We arrived in Banff National Park on Oh Canada D'eh, our equivalent of the Fourth of July. The crazy canucks donned their red with the white maple leaves and sucked down the Molson. Sadly, the local fireworks display was canceled when organizers discovered that an electrical cord needed to stage the event was missing. Due to the holiday, all of the hardware stores were closed and a replacement cord could not be located. Oops.
We spent the morning at Lake Louise. 
Nicky entertained our fellow hikers at the Lake Agnes teahouse with his Field Spaniel lake-jumping talents. In the afternoon, we headed to Banff and did a little street shopping and beer driniking at the local Irish pub. On the way back to our Johnston Canyon cabin, we came upon an Elk dining on some tender grass.
The trip from Banff to Vancouver is the longest leg at 516 miles. We woke up at 5:30 and hit the road by 7. On the wa
y out of the park, we saw a suicidal bear (sorry, no picture) cross the highway. He made it across. That bumps up the wildlife count by one bear and one elk. I'm disappointed in our moose sightings: only one so far and 
the likelyhood of a moose in Vancouver is slim.
