[JONAT] Calgary sector

I think your idea of stopping in Banff where there is a larger variety of
more reasonable hotels is a good idea.  Let me know if Barry is in
agreement.

I'll update the Calgary Sector in a few minutes to reflect the 1A route.
Check it out and let me know if it is OK at

|This weekend I drove the mountain section of the route, and the map
|should be changed to show taking highway 1A from Lake Louise to Banff.
|It runs roughly parallel to the Trans Canada, but isn't as busy and you
|are likely to see more wildlife. Yesterday I saw Elk and Mountain Sheep.
|And Canadian Pacific's steam engine, but that's a different hobby!
|
|The 1A road is more closed in, as the trees come right to the edge so
|the views of the mountains can be a bit obstructed. However, there are
|lots of pull off and scenic viewpoints, and you won't have a semi truck
|sitting on your bumper trying to pass because you're busy looking at the
|mountains.
|
|I've sent an E mail to Barry (Okanagan Sector) to get his views on the
|handoff location. Lake Louise is great for scenery, but the Chateau Lake
|Louise is about the only accommodation and its big $$ in the summer. I'd
|like to give participants the option of more moderately priced
|accommodation.
