Derick was watching a cookery programme only yesterday and they were doing pulled pork Judy . We don’t have that here. Now I know why Greg likes apple pie (Mums cooking perhaps ) x

It snowed the first time we were there on the Ice fields we had been in shorts and t/shirts so quickly had to change into warmer clothes. Have also been in the sunshine . xx

Hey Harry! Might be difficult to catch enough squirrels to make a meal, but there’s a place for you and your lovely wife at Thanksgiving at our place on the last Saturday in November. Deep fried turkey and pulled pork. And Greg’s mum’s (that should really be mom’s shouldn’t it?) Apple Pie. xx

It’s getting warmer for us as we head further south. Although there was ice on the car this morning, but that probably had something to do with us camping right opposite the Columbia Icefields and the Athabasca Glacier in Jasper National Park. We’re south of Calgary now, and I noticed the temp this afternoon was 29C

Look out for little Chipmonks on your travels. The only place we have ever seen them was in Canada. Quite like some of the warm weather ,it’s been quite cool here for the last couple of days . Enjoy you day xx

We’ve certainly got all the gear to camp confortably. Yes, weather here is gorgeous at the moment. Must look out for black squirrels, have only seen little brown ones so far. xx

Didn’t Davey Crockett have a raccoon/coonskin hat? I remember it had a stripey tail. You’re right, not many campers, but I think that might all change when we get to Jasper/Lake Louise/Banff. Tent campers are a minority, most people seem to go for RVs, quite a few of them with generators (eyeroll). The size of some of those rigs limits where they can go, which is fine with us – we can tuck ourselves into an out-of-the-way corner

Hi Judy and Greg . Most of the squirrels we saw in Canada ,and we saw lots , were black. You are so brave to be camping in those places . The only time I have camped was with Fay . We were 17 years old and we cycled to Herne Bay in Kent and didn’t have all the mod cons you have . Have a good time in BC as my family ,who live there tell me the weather is great at this time xx

great reporting what I would like to know say you had caught the squirrel who would have rung its neck and skinned it I think that is what they used to use for Dave Crockett hat here I go again we brought one in Canada in 79 Glaciers are a sight to behold in fact the whole county is some place to visit it does not appear to be a great number of campers when it is there so called good weather just to think you can camper any where in this great country of ours and dont have to worry about a thing Aussie talking the same as a Kiwi I dont think so .enjoy the heat wave I hope there is a heat wave when you return it has been so cold here.
