What did you do?
I flicked a mosquito from there...
and out of all the places it could have landed
that's a mosquito floating in the milk
oh my god
Now we are doing an epic super budget road trip
all the way from Vancouver out to Calgary
last night we slept at Clearwater
Matt quickly like dismantled the tent while I got breakfast ready made out lunch
for today and then we got in the car and on the road by 6:00 a.m.
headed back to Helmcken Falls where Matt got some sweet drone footage
we fought off a million mosquitos
then we got on the road and yeah... 9:30 I would say we're about an hour and a half
away from Kinney Lake. When we get there we're going to be doing the Berg Lake Trail
I hate hiking, I don't like it
I like the outfits that's about it
but this hike oh my gosh I did it with
TrekAmerica a couple of weeks ago and I earmarked it, I was like, I have to come back
Matt's gonna love it I'm gonna love it I have to do it again
oh we saw a bear this morning, that's right we're having a belter of a day aren't we?
all right
I will talk to you at Kinney Lake
Welcome to the Mt Robson Provincial Park
So behind me, beautiful! Look at that water
We're at the trailhead for the Berg Lake Trail
I have a feeling it's going to take about 45 minutes to an hour to get out to Kinney Lake
not that hard, it's a really easy hike
How beautiful is this? Look at that water!
She's a cracker
Does anybody know what the heck that is?
I have never seen anything like that in my entire life
We don't have those in Australia
No, you live in that hole
Is that your hole?
Excuse me is that your hole
Welcome to Whistler's campsite and the soothing sounds of...
Matt pumping up the air bed
You said that we should block up the hole but I don't want
to deal with an angry woodland friend. It'll come out of there like a bat out of hell
bash its head on a board
and then it'll be out for vengeance
Also, Matt's got big plans to find an elk later
Settle a score from 20 years ago
20 years ago Matt was nearly
murdered by an elk on Tunnel Mountain
He's back in the area and he wants revenge
Is that right?
That's right
What's your plan because it's bigger than you?
I don't know
Call it names?
yeah
Hey four legs!
Nice coat!
Guess who's on the Icefield's Parkway?
This guy and that guy
Oh amazing
So we slept last night at Whistler's Campground
just outside Jasper, maybe we've been driving for about 40 minutes
outside Jasper and we're just looking for a campground so a lot of the
campgrounds along the Icefield's Parkway you cannot book so we've got a couple in
mind and there are loads of campgrounds along the Icefields Parkway so we're gonna
go to our first preference and we're gonna see if we can get a spot
We've seen a bear
I'm gonna try and zoom in for you guys so you can get a look at him so we're
along the Icefields Parkway about 20 to 30 minutes outside Jasper
So you can usually tell there's like a media scrum
What a beautiful animal!
Oh my goodness, he's perfect
Guys stay in your car, wind down the window, be quiet...
That's so silly, get back in your car
So we didn't have a night booked for tonight... along the Icefields Parkway
So we went to Wilcox Creek the campground... first-come, first-served, we got a spot
You self-register so you fill out your credit card information whatever, your money
you put in a envelope, you paid, your done
but there's no fires there and it's right near the Athabasca Glacier
So it was cold, like I got out my hands are shaking
I was so cold, we set up the tent, we were like argh! alright let's leave this here and we'll go
do the stuff we want to go do. Nek minnit, we come past this place...
Rampart Creek? Is that right?
So we come here instead and as soon as we drive in
I'm like damn... this is the place we're meant to be... this is so nice
it's like 10 degrees warmer down here... you're allowed to have a fire...
We set everything up again, we paid again so all-in-all we only lost $15 and a couple of
hours of our life. Instead we're gonna move all the activities we were going to do today to tommorrow
Live and learn, so personally would I recommend Wilcox Creek?
Not unless you're like fully kitted out, right? maybe if you're in an RV it might work
for you but if you're tenting like us if you feel the cold maybe it's not your best bet
down here at Rampart is heaven and your allowed to have a fire
If there's no fire ban
It's actually not going too bad
There's one there on the tarp
here, right there
oh sorry
there's kind of a nice picture of a fireweed...
Oh, yeah that's really nice
