Cabin Visitors

While at the cabin we had some visitors come see us...

Sitting beside Kirby is Troy Hilts, a Sask CO that I worked with, he's stationed in Creighton.

Sitting right beside Carolyn is Braden Cherney, him and I worked together in La Ronge back in the mid-90's, he's working out of Moose Jaw now and beside Erinn is Casey Howie, him and I worked together in Pelican Narrows, he is now in Beauval.

All three of the guys were up instructing at the academy, Braden was instructing firearms and other two were doing the boat course.

This is a view looking west across the valley, below is the cabin we stayed at and the mountain is in Jasper National Park. Reading the cabin guest book I noted that the Jasper wardens stay there quite often, there is a corral just outside the cabin yard where they keep their horses that they use to patrol the back country of the park.

This is the Luscar Surface Mine, highway 40 cuts through the middle of the mine where they are digging up the coal which is hauled by train to Wabamun where there are at least 3 coal power generators.

Wabamun Lake is where we went for the boat course.

Since the mine is all marked No Trespassing there is no hunting allowed on it's property so the Bighorn Sheep grow to be huge. Apparently the world record was shot in the area. These ones were right on the edge of the road, with more lining the adjacent ridges.

These one's we seen outside of the mine site, notice they are all ewe's and kids!
