    You’ll have success with those peppers. Banana come in sweet and hot. I think the hots are legit. Good for salsa and hot sauce recipes. The sweets are not imo really sweet, but they add a nice crunch to tuna salad, bagel toppings, eggs, etc. And both are prolific. Your onions didn’t do well? Did you do small plants in March?

    Next year plant a few banana, cayenne, jalapeño, and Serrano peppers. Stupid easy.

    Time sensitive but is that a bird ring on radar in northern bay area?

    We had summer last winter.

    Beautiful photos, @CAPE. Let me know where you end up living over there and I’ll visit! The last leg of our trip was in Glacier and though I’ve been there before, it doesn’t disappoint. Such a stunning park.

    Totally agree about the walks on a glacier without a pro tour group. We were very respectful around the glacier knowing that it’s a potentially volatile area. Pictures don’t do justice to the size and danger. Today was a lazy day around Jasper. Got down into the 30’s last night so no hurry getting up, and then opted for a coffee house latte and pastries in town over the traditional cowboy coffee and scrambled egg burritos at the campsite. Walked the town a bit and checked out the cool railroad station, then hit up the tram to the near summit of Whistler’s Mountain (not to be confused with the biggie outside Vancouver). Hiked the final kilometer to the summit and had a late lunch and beer back at the tram.

    Unfortunately, the MA forum is my only “Facebook.” And I just read the Banner article concerning Angelos and the stadium deal. What a pos.

    @CAPE Did I miss how your trip went???

    We only did a 8 mile hike today, but there was a lot of rock scrambling and elevation gain. The mountain made a lot of sounds today. Definitely heard glaciers cracking and rocks falling. And Jasper is incredible. What a great town! And I touched my first ever glacier!

    Need a win tomorrow to keep the series streak alive. Its been fun listening to them on Sirius XM while traveling.

    I purchased a “GuideAlong” for the drive today and it was so funny that the first thing the guide said was, “Hopefully you have clear weather for all the sights today!” Our weather was pretty cruddy so if the weather is clear on Sunday when we drive to Glacier, we will be hitting up some of the same stops. The guide made a point of saying the sunnier the sky, the more vivid the glacial water.

    Today was a travel day from Banff to Jasper along the Icefields Parkway. Unfortunately, the weather was meh, but for the glacier walk, cold and wet felt just right. Glacier, not water, in the background. Closer to the glacier.

    Yes, but there has been some smoke, but as everyone knows, this year has been (hopefully) unique. As far as temps, they’ve been great. Precip has been mostly dry but there have been clouds. We’ve yet to have a completely clear night to try out my star tracking photo gear, but overall dry. Given a choice (and in a couple years, I’ll be retired) I’d come back in September to avoid the crowds. Now, as a teacher, I’m confined to summer break. But, as one of my travel companions said, it’s amazing what getting an early start and a hill will do to thin the crowds.

    It’s been an amazing trip. Still have Jasper and Glacier ahead of us. And the weather looks ideal.

    More travel banter but we survived last night’s storms and got up early to drive up to Lake Louise. Decided on the Plain of Six Glaciers hike. Hopefully all have their power back on and damage was minimal. One of my travel companions that lives in my neighborhood at home is still without power and she got an alert it won’t be back on until Friday at 11pm. Nuts to that. We’re off to Jasper tomorrow for a few days.

    I’m not. Wealthy, I mean.

    Quiet day in Banff. Did some laundry and walked the town and some nearby trails. The goats were near our campsite, and tomorrow we head to Lake Louis. Hope everyone there got through the storms unscathed.

    Good to hear! Keep an eye on the bow heading out of MoCo

    I’m in Banff having a laundry day and sipping a cocktail. Instead of catching up with the 10 pages, I jumped to the last page. Have you posted pics? A yes or no will suffice. I will scroll back later if yes.

    Still in Banff and today we did a 15 miler up to Healy’s Pass and then circled around to Simpsons Pass and back to Sunshine Village ski resort. Smoke has been a minor issue as there is a haze that restricts long visibility, but the scenery has been stellar.

    A few shots from the Johnston Canyon hike today. Best part of the day was heading to a brewery in Banff after the hike and having the O’s game on! Go O’s!!! Sitting by the fire now sipping a whiskey and listening to rolling distant thunder. Great day.

    I rarely make a prediction that comes even remotely close to fruition.

    Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan, Canada. Pics are from sunset last night and one from this morning’s hike. Incredible scenery here.
