Supposedly 6-10 inches of snow. Ben will have to make a great dinner, followed by hot chocolate, to appease a certain bear...Jerry and Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14252134152401023710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8697474705295626108.post-30348403255227967502014-04-03T08:47:11.490-07:002014-04-03T08:47:11.490-07:00Yup, Alberta's provincial flower is the Wild R...Yup, Alberta's provincial flower is the Wild Rose - there's even a Wild Rose Party (political) in Alberta. The flower for BC is the dogwood... which is weird because they really only grow in SW BC... hmph. I haven't seen one yet, but maybe this spring.<br /><br />Umm... not bottles along the trail but you never know!! The bottle opener is still in the pack - I have got to go through Mama's outdoor gear and dig out some more appropriate equipment. Mama want to say that once she was on a hike and came across two cans of beer chilling in lake with no one else in sight... they were beary good... But she didn't need a bottle opener for them...Alexander Mackenzie Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18439228479909071116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8697474705295626108.post-38981239163326449332014-04-03T08:44:27.566-07:002014-04-03T08:44:27.566-07:00Um... yup... the beach.

In fact, I was hiking at the beach today and the Lily Sandyensis' were out, along with lots of wild roses starting to bloom (isn't that the providence nickname for Alberta, Wild Rose Country?). <br /><br /> PS - I didn't see any bottles to open along the trail, do you still have the bottle opener in your pack?L foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093582050243135697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8697474705295626108.post-53598525459501131662014-04-02T07:39:36.971-07:002014-04-02T07:39:36.971-07:00The Beach?!?
