Hi Melissa! Hi Ann! Hi Teresa! Hi Tammy! Hi Donna!

Okay so lets get BP to do the next Summit in BANFF, Alberta. Just minutes from this beautiful place?

What do you say? :D

Ann, that's not dried grass. It's dirt. HA! I smiled huge when you said that! I WISH IT WERE MORE HOT! It has been a very mild summer. Only a few scorching days. The rest of the time it seems to be around 70*f ... 90*f was the high one day. It was in the low 50's there each morning of camping.

Still, as you all have noticed...beautiful no matter how chilly!

Thanks each of you! I love this spot. I hope the BP judges will, too!
