Drive to Banff Aug 29

We left Vernon, BC and drove to Banaff, where we are staying until tomorrow.  Another beautiful drive and surrounded by mountains.  The temp has fallen so feel much better.  We got in around 6ish last night and got a room and went for dinner.  Banff is cute, really set up for the skiers and as this is their low season got a great deal on a room.  It was still busy but Bill has been here during ski season and he said this is nothing compared to that.  Had a nice meal and walked the streets.  I think it snowed a little bit last night before it turned to rain.  Not that cold but it was blowing around like a blizzard and rain doesn't do that.  Then at some point during the night I woke to thunder, lightening and heavy rain.  Looks like its trying to clear.  The picture doesn't look great but this grey rock mountain was gigantic.  Off to see what there is to see.  Cheers, nrm & bam
