Day 31 5/29/15

Elk in our campground in Banff

We had critters visiting the two adjoining campsites last night, they left stuff outside and it was scattered far and wide. Dumped tanks and did a thorough rinse out of the black tank as its sensor has been indicating at least half full for a week or so.  Now it is indicating empty.

We left our camp at about 9:30 and stopped at the store on the way out of town – needed a new stove lighter and a couple of other small items. Then off on the short run to Banff, NP and the Tunnel Mountain RV Park.  Surprise, it was nearly empty so we booked a spot and took the bus into the village.

Banff (the village) is styled on a Swiss Chalet meets trendy modern motif.  Lots of restaurants, bard, trendy clothing stores and a few brand outlets occupied the main street through town.  We were fortunate to find the Banff Brewery and decided to quaff a few local brews while sharing a Canada Burger (Alberta beef, cheddar and bacon) and a Buffalo Chicken sandwich along with shoestring fries served in a cone.  Waddling was in order afterwards.

We saw 7 Elk in the campground when returning from town about 4pm.  Mary crashed for a nap while I headed for the showers.
