Hot Spring Pilgrimage and a new Television spot.

Me proud of my new belt buckle

Last week, we took Paul and Angela to the West Edmonton Mall and stayed at the Fantasyland Hotel. Good times... we were still wandering the halls of the Mall at 2 am... we may or may not have been drinking.

As we returned to Jasper, the temperatures cooled considerably, and with wind chill got uncomfortably close to -50'C. It really hasn't warmed much since. We've had a few days in minus single digits, and yesterday it may have reached plus 1. Today we are back to sub minus 30'C but warmer weather seems to be on the way.

St Leons pool... big enough for 8 people

Tracey and I made a last minute decission to go to Half Way Hotsprings for our yearly winter pilgrimage. We left Tuesday morning and as a result never reached the road to the hot spring until dark. We decicded to forgo Halfway Hotspring (12 km in) and skiied to St Leon in stead (3.5 km). I spent hours in the hot spring but we found little to do. The next day we decided to ski out and head home. We drove (all together) for 17 hours in ski 7 km and soak in a hot spring... yeah it was worth it.

I was sent this link yesterday. It seems that I was on City TV last night... almost everyone in town saw it... or so it seems by the people I see outside (not that there are many due to the cold).

Anyhow, click the link and watch the program:
