DAY 24 - LAYOVER IN CRANBROOK, B.C.

Whew!   Where do I start!!   Today was full of memories for the 4 guys and the first time us girls had seen the location of where they had enjoyed hunting for so many years.   We left at 9 oclock and after stopping at one of their old favorite places for coffee we made our way up the very rough and winding road.   Obviously they were very familiar with the road so that made it less nerve-racking for me!   I have always wanted a closer view of the 'Rockies' and I certainly got that today!   The scenery was 'out of this world' and all I could keep thinking was 'no wonder they loved it up here'....so restful....so quiet....and SO beautiful.   The pictures will now tell the story!

LITTLE MAX GOT TO COME TOO!   AFTER ALL HE IS FEELING MUCH BETTER!

FOUR PRETTY EXCITED GUYS!
