Thanks for your coverage of this event! Some years ago my wife and I packed the car and took off from Chicago for a drive across western Canada. We crossed the border somewhere on the Minnesota line and went up to Winnipeg, over to Regina, up to Saskatoon and on to Calgary. Then came probably the happiest and most memorable part of the trip (and still vividly remembered many years later!). After a couple of days in the Banff Springs
Hotel we drove up the Columbia Icefields Highway, stopping for a "scramble" up a relatively short trail to look over a ridge and see the mighty Athabasca Glacier. We stopped again and took a longer trail, from which we made a short diversion, across a small icefield to an open area on the side of a broad ridge. From there we had a completely panoramic view of the Rockies. Absolutely spectacular! We eventually worked our way to Jasper, across into BC to Kamloops and on to Victoria. As a result of this adventure I'm deeply envious of all of you who have an opportunity to make these drives more often. But I'm also very happy for you. And your excellent photography helps me, vicariously, to relive some of the feelings of being in that great place!
Thanks again!

Those photos are very nice!

I just replaced the grill on Inara. Here's a horrible camera phone picture - I plan on getting some good shots this weekend.

I also have the JCW shocks which are more aggressive, and I love the ride, nice and firm....the springs dropped it to the perfect ride height cuz it's just high enough that I maybe scrape that little plastic air dam underneath the bumper at random times which is no biggie, so I can drive everywhere with no issues.....you definitely gotta get rid of that ugly gap
