We were nine guests, all Canadian, on a 5 day ride in the Rocky Mountains northwest of Calgary. The sun was shining when we set off, though there was smoke from forest fires obscuring the view of the mountains.

This team pulled the wagon, which carried our gear and the food. Ted, the teamster, built the wagon, and made it high with river crossings in mind.

| This young cat came to camp too, and caught mice. We were told he sometimes catches squirrels, and the occasional wild rabbit! |

| This was one of the first river crossings, a shallow one - later on we crossed the Clearwater river, which was almost up to the horses' bellies, and very fast flowing. |
