Jaguar Trip to Jasper

Rob says, "Have been following all the trips and activity's that the club have done over the summer, looks like everyone has had a great time.

"Here are some pictures from our first long trip to the Canadian Rockies in the Jag.  All went well with just a couple of minor hiccups.  (we ran out of refreshments at one point!)  and we developed a slight misfire which induced some pucker moments.  Did the usual drill, checked plug wires and coil connections, tightened spark plug caps onto wires, seemed to help slightly.  Gas mileage worked out to be an amazing 22+ mpg.   The weather was fabulous and the mountain roads were no hard task for the Jag.  We took a half day rail trip to Dunster in BC and got some marvelous pics of Mt. Robson from the dome carriage which gave us a bird's eye view of the scenery.  The local fire hall at Dunster is in one of the photographs!  A tour bus picked us up from Dunster and brought us back to Jasper with a couple of stops at Rearguard Falls and Mt. Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies.  We would definitely recommend this trip. 
We also took the tour of the Columbia ice fields on the ice explorer vehicle and filled our water bottle with glacier water.  YUM!  The ice we were standing on was as thick as the Eiffel Tower is tall.  The accommodation was awesome and had resident geese and elk wandering around.  There was a first class restaurant on site which would definitely be FABAC approved.  All in All, it was an outstanding vacation, the only thing missing was the companionship of the club!
