The rest of the Story....

On August 17 Myself (Roxi) and the Kids left for Jasper. Mark followed the next day on the moterbike (something he says he'll never do again on a "crotch rocket). We climbed Old Fort Point on the 18th but the view was less then spectacular due to BCs forstfires. The mountains were barely visable but the Athabasca was as emerald as ever from our dazzeling hight. Dassi climbed the first 2kms to the top by herself, and rode Mommies shoulders for the rest of the 5km loop. We then drove out to Patricia Lake for a swim in the hazey shawdow of Pyramid Mountain. Mark arrived 2 hours later after tricking me by calling and telling me he wouldn't be leaving GP for a few more hours (he showed up 5 mins later)

That night we all met Annie Rose, Janeen and Scotts 1 week old daughter, and ate fire cooked chicken under smokey night skys.

The next day after Breakfast we bid farewell to Dan and Vikki, and headed for an avalanch site 1h south as per Skooks request. There we scrambled and rock hopped before having a picnic lunch and heading to Athabasca falls. The falls were quite scarey for Hadassah and it took a while befor she would venture on to the bridge or open her eyes!
