Day 6 Hinton

Bill banged on our door about 7:30 in the morning and said you better bring Molly inside, there is a grizzly walking down the road. Sure enough, here he came right by our campsite and then over to Bill and Cathy’s. He was checking out their bikes and then moved on down the road.

We left Mosquito Creek. There were not any mosquitoes in camp, but there was snow around and the morning temperature was 28F/-2C so they were probably frozen out.

The views on the Icefields Parkway were unbelievable! We stopped at the Icefeilds Center for coffee and picture taking.

We fought construction all the way to Hinton KOA . There was also a minor traffic jam when a few big horn sheep took there sweet time crossing the highway.

The KOA was nice, but some of the laundry was closed because of a plumbing problem so our clothes washing was delayed which also affected the timing of dinner, so my BBQ chicken was more like chicken jerky.

They had a K9 playground which Molly loved. She could climb and jump through all of the obstacles with ease.

Now I said that there were no mosquitoes at mosquito creek, but that is not the story for the rest of our trip. We have been eaten up anytime we sit outside. Our little bug screen tent sure comes in handy. Thanks Derek for finding it for us!
