Rocky Mountaineer Canada Trip 2019 - Day 6, Part 2

Our first stop on the bus, sorry, motorcoach today was Natural Bridge, a rock formation over the Kicking Horse River caused by erosion.  This had once been a waterfall.

We got there at 3pm and before we got out we were specifically advised by our bus, sorry, motorcoach driver to stay on the designated paths.  He said every day he comes here he sees people climbing on the rocks for photos, and that about 4 people a year fall in.  He said if the fall didn't kill you, shock from the glacially cold "wrench water" combined with the swift current would finish you off.  It's called wrench water he said, because it'll tighten your nuts.

We got off the bus, fuck it, BUS and the first thing we saw were a couple posing for pictures on the edge of the rock formation.

South Dakota Trip 2013 - Day 5


Up at 6am this morning (thought it was 7am).  Slept much better with the windows closed and the air on.  Laid in bed until 9:45am updating my journal.  Ate the orange-cranberry muffin I brought back from Perkins the night before.  Tried the in-room coffee maker, but the coffee was swill so I poured it out.

Today's destination:
