Hey Roland, have you ever loked on Google Earth at  some of the places we visited? I was checking it out last night and may contribute some of my photos to the sites. They also link up with wikipedia to give an overview of the towns, Ft. Macleod is mentioned as one of the filming sites for Brokeback--and also the birthplace of Joni Mitchell!

To the best a my knowledge, Joni's a product a Saskatchewan, not Alberta. Somebody got somethin wrong!

Not sure WHAT google earth's all about ... :-\

Well wikipedia is not the most reliable source of information in the world.

Here is google earth, it offers satilite images of the globe, some areas better resolution than others.

If you can get the google earth with out the google pack you'd be better off. Most of that crap I don;t use.  :o

Wonderful cloud formation - only available in mountainous regions (Lee tells me they're common in Colorado)
