Miles and Badger, I appreciate your replies and appologize for not checking back sooner. Things are progressing nicely. I do have the passport covered and just received the maps that should get me by. Thanks again! Oh yeah, does anybody know how I can show myself on here. I notice I have a ? where everyone else has a pic.

Hey Bad Squirrel, the reason you are seeing the question mark is because you don't have a Avatar.

hmmmmmm mountains...

I think they took mine when I had the appendectomy. No really what the heck is an Avater?

Hey squirrel. The little pics we have are called avatars. You have to upload one so that you have one. go to your user cp and look for update avatar.

I like Jasper better for a guys trip. It's less touristy and less busy and some good day rides out of there. Banff is betetr if families coming but def more expensive and busier. Ther are some pretty decent rides out of Banff thoguh too. Perhaps two weekends this summer? One in Jasper and one in Banff?
