I HAD A GOOD CAMPING LAST NIGHT AND WAS ON THE ROAD BY 7 AM.

IT WAS AGAIN VERY COLD FOR THE FIRST HOUR OR SO.

JASPER AND BANFF NATIONAL PARKS ARE VERY LARGE AND RIVAL OUR GLACIER NATIONAL PARK IN BEAUTY.

I DON’T KNOW HOW YOUR SUMMER WEATHER HAS BEEN BUT MINE HAS BEEN COOL AND AT TIMES COLD. AS I DESCENDED FROM THE MOUNTAINS TODAY INTO THE VALLEY, IT FINALLY WARMED UP AND EVEN GOT HOT. I EVEN TOOK OFF, ALL MY SWEATERS AND JACKETS, I FINISHED THE DAY WITH ONLY MY AIR JACKET ON. TOMORROW I WILL GO TO KALISPELL AND BEGIN MY FISHING.

I UNDERSTAND THE FISHING HAS BEEN GOOD AND AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.

SURE ENOUGH I DID LEAVE MY CORD BAG IN THAT SMALL LODGE IN WATSON LAKE. THE LADY HAS RECOVERED IT, AND WILL SEND IT TO ME.
