Here is a close up of the dump trailer

Edit here:

Forgot to mention, it is made by <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.nortruck.com/>nortruck </A>

Looks like it may have been a custom job as they aren't listed on the web site.

Close up of Wheel. That's my bride, she's 5'2" to give you an idea how big this monster is. Top speed 12MPH

Earlier version of Sno Coach. It's an old Greyhound Americruiser bus. No suspension, must have been a rough ride.

Snowblower they use to clear road on glacier down to ice in spring.

Taking pictures of tractors on your honeymoon, no doubt this is the ideal burn-in test for your marriage! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Personally I'd try it before getting married to someone. BTW, many congratulations on your wedding!

Ice Fields Parkway:

Been on that Glacier in the winter with skis and everyone roped up.
Rode a bicycle up and down the road going by the Ice fields many a time. Going down passed a car or two a few times but at about 90 kil./hr. my heart gets faint.
One of the nicest campgrounds is south of the hotel. It's a walk in and one can lie in the tent and have a great view of the glacier. Course your water bottle may be frozen in the morning.
What other trails did you venture on?

Steve,

Great pics of the tractors and the Canadian Rockies. We passed through Banff and Lake Louise 2 years ago traveling east from British Columbia. Most beautiful mountains I've seen...even better than the American Rockies. Must be about a dozen times since briefly visiting I've thought about wanting to return there for at least a week. Never had this feeling before about any other tourist destination I've been to.

Thanks for posting and bringing back some good memories.

Regards,

Not only did you get your wife to look at tractors while on you're honeymoon, you actually got her to take pictures of them. /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

Well, I introduced the topic of traveling with an RV through Canada/Alaska, as a potential 2nd honeymoon, to my wife of 28 years. The example of yours, with pictures of old tractors and the like, was used. NO DICE (and I'm being polite) - the Caribbean and other tropical locations, with forays to beaches and bars, were generally indicated as her preference. You seem to have a unique situation, or your new wife is trying to be an exceedingly good sport - for now. Enjoy it.

Your picture was obviously taken before we got several inches of snow on August 2nd!!! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif
