QUICK JASPER GETAWAY ( PART 4)

SO WE WERE JUST HEADING BACK HOME WHEN WHEN ALL THE CARS AND TRUCKS JUST CAME TO A DEAD STOP.  WE JUST HAPPENED TO BE PRAYING THE ROSARY SO WE HAPPILY SAT FOR 45 MINUTES IN THE LINEUP.  WHEN WE FINISHED WE THOUGHT, ‘WHAT IN THE HECK? HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO BE SITTING HERE?’  WE CHECKED WITH THE RCMP REPORTS AND SURE ENOUGH THE HIGHWAY HAD BEEN WASHED OUT FROM ALL OF THE RAINS.

THAT WAS IT FOR US. WE GOT OUT OF THE LINE,  DOUBLED BACK AND DECIDED TO TAKE THE BIG JASPER/BANFF LOOP TO RETURN HOME.  AND WHAT A FANTASTIC DECISION THAT WAS AS THE MOUNTAIN VIEWS ARE EVEN PRETTIER THAN THE USUAL WAY HOME!  WE SAW MORE WATERFALLS,  GORGEOUS MOUNTAIN VISTAS AT EVERY CORNER, AND IT DIDN’T MATTER HOW LONG IT TOOK US TO RETURN HOME BECAUSE….WE WERE ON HOLIDAYS ! 

IT WAS A WONDERFUL RETURN JOURNEY AND THE WHOLE , THREE DAY TRIP WAS JUST THE TICKET FOR HELPING US GET THROUGH THIS LONG TIME OF BEING APART FROM THOSE WE LOVE. THE CHANGE WAS AS GOOD AS A REST AND WE BOTH FEEL REJUVENATED! 

P.S. I FOUND OUT THAT A FRIEND WAS IN JASPER THE SAME TIME AS US AND THEY WERE STUCK WAITING FOR THE ROAD TO BE SHORED UP FOR THREE HOURS !!!!
