International Peace and the Growing Wifi Rebellion



Yesterday we towed our Airstream across the border into the Canadian province of Alberta, where we will be camping for the next several days. We’ve been impressed with the variety of wildlife in and around this area – and I’m not just talking about the $5 “all-you-can-drink Hamm’s” specials.

Here in Canada we’re visiting Waterton Lakes National Park. This International Peace Park is unique in that it stretches across the national border. The American side is our beloved Glacier, while the Canadians get Waterton Lakes.



We’re staying in a private Canadian campground just outside the Park. Most private campgrounds now also offer wireless Internet access, a nice amenity if you’re maintaining a travel blog. (On this point, it’s really irritating when campgrounds charge an extra premium for wireless Internet access. As a longtime Internet advocate, I believe wifi is one of the fundamental human rights alongside food, clothing, shelter, and quality espresso.)

We’ll be venturing deeper into Canadian turf today. Then tomorrow drive further north towards Calgary.

Hello Sean and Fluff Fluff!

I am having a bad time with being able to post on your blog. The passwd only work one time and then I have to create a new one every time.

How is the weather? You must have had over 4" at house from the looks of your grass and pool.

Wish we were up there with you. Have fun and be safe!

We Love You!

Wow- Molly and I have been tracking your trip and it looks like you guys are having a great time. I went to Yellowstone last summer and it was amazing! I only saw one bear so I am a little jealous. We wish you guys the best- enjoy the rest of your trip. We will!!
