Golden

We spent our first night camping the the dodgy Re-Mains tent (that I think is missing a part) in Golden. It rained a little but we were warm and dry. Thank you Barb for lending us your sleeping bags. It was colder in the mountains than we anticipated. We went to the Kicking Horse Mountain resort to visit Boo, their resident grizzly bear. We were lucky enough to see him right near the fence. Lunch and a glass of wine was taken at the top of the gondola with an amazing view of the mountains. I must have been bitten by something because in the retaurant I was scratching my ear lobe and Kat noticed that it was about twice the size it should be and beetroot red.




From Golden we drove to Lake Luise. It was balls and shaft cold camping there. But at least they had an electric grizzly fence.
