Driving across the prairies...

Saskatchewan is flat (but driving is easy)

Drove to Regina from the Ontario border. Next day, made it to Edmonton. 

Originally, we had considered spending some time in the National Parks in the Rockies, but finding everything booked out (campsites and most hotels) or overpriced ($300-400 for a lousy motel in Banff or Jasper?!) deterred us. No point visiting these National Parks in July/August.

Rainy weather in Jasper (still, it was packed with tourists) sealed the deal: we continued driving. 

Made it to Kamloops last night. Should be home in Whistler today. (Yay! NO more motels/hotels!)
