Keep roolin

After the park we did more of what we did best drive. Another 6 or 8 hours at the wheel and we stoped to sleep, this time we just opend up a gate on the side of the highway drove in and called it a night. We set up the tents while the sky showed us the northern lights. They were faint i thought it was a cloud or the milky way but if you watched they danced.Day broke we drove. We had intended to go threw glaciar national park but the 25$ enterance fee and the fact that we were headed to what has been called "the most beautifull drive in the world" kept us driving. We did stop for a swim and a wash in a glaciar stream thats first wash of the trip and was much needed.
After a throught serch at the border we entered Canada and the largest soy feilds i had ever sceen, probably the only soy feilds i have ever sceen but it was cool endless feilds of yellow.
Are goal was on the horizon Edmonton and Daves lady were waiting. I wouldent say we were rushing but i guess i was speeding when it happend. BOOM BANG smoke and dirt filled the car i thought this is it, its over. Mermories of the acident in Portugal and the transmision giving out in Moroco filled my head but it wasent the end i got the car to the side of the road. I got out of the car walked behind it and layed on the ground in the feital position and shook. The tread had seperated from the drivers side rear tire the noise and smoke and dirt were from that tread spining at 130km and pulverising the side of the car in an area that was more bondo than car.
I was still too shook to drive after this and Dave took over for the last stretch.But we did it we arived in Edmonton befor the sun set. We checked in to the hotel the remained of the planters were at and got to work on the booze. A nice night of salsa dancing and too much yager. The next morning i felt like death and in this top form went looking for tires for the car. Dave figured if one goes the rest could. Found an amazing deal on tires and packed the car with all of our stuff. Well with are new traveler on boared the car was bit packed
We droped a bag of stuff on the greyhound and hit the road late in the day. We were headed for Jasper and Banff national park. We drove for a few hours and found a camp site, a real camp site and decided it was as good aplace as any to rest are heads. I got down to my favorit camping activity. Man Makes Fire and my second favorit camping activity Man Drinks Beer and i did these activites untill 1 ran out it wasent the fire.
