Today we traveled to the Pocahantas Mines (these were coal mines in the area). and then to the Mielle Hot Springs. To be honest the mines were not really worth it. There was little left of the colliers (coal miners) homes or the mining operation. Just some foundations and the mine shaft which you could not enter. The hot springs were great with several pools, two were HOOOOT, medium hot, COOOLD, and cold. It was great to relax though and get a restful day in. This afternoon we are i the Soft Rock Cafe in Jasper and catching up on some email and the rest of the things that we need to do. So tomorrow we head on down the Icefields Parkway to see the Athabasca Glacier. I think that the first time I saw this was when I was 5 years old and have been up on the glacier about 5 times. It is just great to stand on hundreds of feet of snow and ice. We will see if this time it snows on us up there(it has every time we were up there before).Well that's all for today folks.Lorneenjoy the bears they are Bev's greatest joy on the trip. 1 Bears2 Princess Lake and Lover's Island3 Underground water from Medicine Lake going into Malinge Cyn4 Malinge Lake I think

Dr. Muth, I have been following yours and Bev's exploits and misadventures and have been enjoying them thoroughly. I am also very very sorry I missed your call earlier today. I was in the middle of a refraction and finished as fast as I could...but alas, it wasn't fast enough. As per your request, I will sit down and have a hearty conversation with Dr. E about the orthopod. Please continue to have fun and don't get TOO close to those bears (although they are totally cool)!
