Drive to Jasper

Well my predicted sleep-in did'nt quite materialise I got a phone call from Tanya in the UK, she works for the agency that helped put all this trip together, she was reminding me that I had a telephone interview on the Chris Evans Show on BBC Radio 2 in the UK at 11.45 my time.
While it is true that I do sometimes, no rarely forget things, I had'nt forgotten this.
I got up and had a shower, cooked myself some bacon and eggs, and attempted to pack some of my things, the trouble is that I have so much stuff now that it is impossible to pack everything. This is a good excuse to buy some new skis, so I then have to buy a ski bag, which I can then put lots more things into. Crikey a reason to shop... I am sounding like a women!!! (Next thing is I will be called Edwina the Eagle)
After doing the radio interview which went quite well I checked out and started my drive to Jasper, after having filled my tank with petrol of course.
Everything was going well I had passed Lake Louise and had to turn off to Jasper, I must have gone about 5 miles when a Park Ranger stopped me and said that the road was to be closed for 4 hrs in about an hours time, he advised me that I could drive 70 miles up to where the road was to be closed and wait or return to Lake Louise.
So I did just that, I drove back to Lake Louise and parked by the Chateau. I had a quick coffe and a cake then went on a 10km hike, I walked up to Mirror Lake then on to Lake Agnes, I had a look round the lake then ran all the way back down to Lake Louise, I walked all the way along form one end to the other of Lake Louise then had a quick look around the shops. By this time it was 5.15pm so I decided to get on my way to Jasper.
I reached the point where the road was closed and the Park Ranger told me it was because of a risk of Avalache, he said there had been four small ones which had reached the road but it was still passable. At 6.20pm they felt the snow had frozen enough and had stablised so the road was back open, it was a pity that it was dark as it would have been a lovely sight seeing drive, but I eventually made it to Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge outside Jasper. I checked in went straight down for a sauna before I even went to my room, had a quick bite to eat, then went to my room, it is a chalet inwhich there is a partitioned sitting room, bedroom and bathroom, its very swish.
As it was late I quickly checked my e-mails then went to bed.
