Room with a view
This morning I woke up in Banff to thick smoke, remnants of the fires raging just across the boarder in BC. From what I’m told, the smoke has traveled all the way to Manitoba, meaning it’s now stretching across half the country. Environment Canada says this smoke will only truly impact those with asthma or allergies, but this morning my throat is tight, my eyes a little itchy.
In an hour I will rent a car and drive west, into the smoke, through the Rocky Mountains and Rogers Pass, down into the desert of the Okanagan. It’s a trip I’ve made many times before, though not in recent memory. This time I’ll be guided my memories instead of mountains. That’s alright with me.
