I know I'm just yanking his chain :) we are headed to Banff on Saturday with my 5 and 6 year old (and our new motorcycle trailer and headlights!) I am wondering if we will come across any heat waves. The last time I headed west through Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan it was 39 Celsius. My wife still uses that trip as an excuse not to camp!
