Jasper, Alberta Canada - weekend camping trip

[Bill Davidson]

Redneck racing pick-up on the way to Jasper



Tailgate party, while it was raining (1/2 day of rain - we still made things work :-) )



This is downtown Jasper - very nice.



Me having fun with the bears.



Town of Jasper. We hiked up a small mountain.



Another view from the small mountain.



Small section of Athabasca Falls



Watch your footing around the falls



I can't remember what this hole is called, but it's pretty cool looking.



I had actually detailed my truck before leaving but we had rain within the first hour.



Some guys crazy Coleman tent. I called it the death trap. Notice how you
have to climb a ladder to get in.



Animals everywhere. Notice the lady in the lawn chair just sitting there relaxing.



Bear trap. There are lots of bears. I've woke up to one, 6" away from my head sniffing me through my tent.
I still have a small hole in my tent, where I hit the side with my hatchet to get the bear to leave.

Thanks, it was a great trip. I would have liked to have went this weekend as well, but the campgrounds are full. This is our last long weekend.

Great pictures Bill.

I like your Sierra a lot as well.

Thanks. I've had it for 2 years now and it's still pretty mint. This is a dirty as you'll ever see it.

It's on trips like this that I wish I had an extended cab for a cooler etc., but 99% of the time I'm glad I have the regular cab. You really have to keep it clean though, as you barely have room for a jacket.

I'll probably keep it for about 2 more years and then get an extended cab. I won't get black again... not for a daily driver.

I feel sorry for those people. That's just crazy.

I always try to be very careful. It's a very scary feeling being woken up by something 400-600 lbs that's looking for a meal.
