Jigger Boss and Mrs. Greg:

Yes, lazy ace and I have been to Banff. We spent part of our honeymoon there, and really enjoyed it. It was in August of 2003, and the whole inter-mountain west of North America was on fire. We couldn't go into Jasper as it was closed because of the fires, and didn't see any Bighorns in Banff.

It was truly a trip we would like to take again. We looked at cattle in ND and MT, then in Alberta at two outfits, and stayed a night with a family I stayed with on a 4-H exchange trip in 1988 in Pincher Creek.

And, in Canmore, there is/was the best brew pub, the Grizzly Paw. They had great food and beer. We stayed outside of town, so we couldn't have nearly as much fun there as we would have liked Wink

One day, we'll make the trip back. Hopefully sooner rather than later. You all live in a beautiful area, no doubt.

We have Bighorns in Colorado where I was raised, but you don't get anywhere near that close to them. The closest I've ever been was on the Million Dollar Highway between Silverton and Ouray Colorado, Christmas Day 2002. We were headed from my folks to my Aunt and Uncle's, and there was one laying on the crag over the highway. Too bad the highway is so narrow, as it would have been neat to turn around and get a picture. If I remember correctly, the had a full curl.

Sorry sooooo long. I guess I got to reminiscing!

Cheers---

PS keep the pics coming!
