This is Jack's post

of all the things to take a picture of. That's right it's a garbage can in Banff. Having not traveling outside the U.S. in 35 years it's been quite an eye openinger. As you can see it's not that hard. One side is for paper middle garbage end for cans and bottles with the silver box for butts. I have only seen three people smoking and the street are spotless not because its cleaned by the city but people don't litter. nobody's overweight except for the tourist. When working in KW I remember tourist coming up and asking what to do with there cigarette butts which I can understand now. I can understand why people around the world have little respect for America's. Prices have been quite a shock. Cigarettes 13.00 a pack,gas 4.40 a gallon, 12 pack of miller bottles 27.40, 6 pack of cornona, 15.60 and a fifth of Bacarti 55.00. We're in Dawson Creek BC had to arrive early because the campgrounds in Jasper AL were booked for the week. So we're sitting at a gravel parking lot until Thursday. It's 55 degrees and raining not supposed to stop until Wednesday. Have met most of the people of coarse we are the young couple. On the way here fron Hinton to Grande Prairie about 200 miles we did see 3 moose. Very little traffic mostly coal mining lumber and natural gas. And by the way, Micheal this is where the satelite died. It's going to be hard not seeing CNBC for 45 days. We're getting bored so if I can Wifi tomorrow we'll probably do an update. later Jack
