Well, I just got home from Banff last night!
After some problems finding a place to stay, we got 3 nights at the Charlton Cedar Court - Loft Suite. The drive there was 16 hours from Winnipeg. On the way there, we split up the trip and spent the night at the Comfort Inn, in Medicine Hat.
Let me tell you, the mountains were AMAZING! Me and my girlfriend hiked up to the top of Tunnel Mountain. We got a few awesome pictures (I'll post them when they get developed) looking out over the area. The whole place was great. On the day before we left, I rented myself a snowboard and headed up to Sunshine Ski Village. I took a 2 hour lesson (I've never snowboarded before) and I was on my way. I had a few spectacular wipeouts (I hurt my neck pretty bad, but its just a sprain) and I've been totally tenderized.
On the way home, I decided to do the whole 16 hour drive in one day cause I didn't want to spend any more money. Just my luck that I got my first ever speeding ticket just outside Swift Current :| I got clocked doing 130 km/h when the limit was 100. The ticket is so fscked up though I shouldn't have got it. I was passing a group of 3 cars that were doing the speed limit (I like being in the front of a pack of cars on the highway cause it makes me feel safer), so I pull out of the slow lane into the fast lane and speed up to pass them. Just as soon as I pull back into the slow lane (now doing about 110), some cop pulls me over! What bull. Anyway, there's no way I am driving 8 hours to show up at some Swift Current court to argue the ticket, so I'm going to plea not guilty and write a letter and hope it all works out. If not, its only a $115 (CDN) ticket so its not like its gonna tear me a new butt hole.
Thats my story, I know you all missed me
