We spent a week up there last summer. Definitely take the time to drive the Ice Fields Parkway and spend a night or two in Jasper. Lake Louise was cool, although insanely crowded. We spent a day in Jasper National Park going to Maligne Canyon and Maligne Lake and it was much less crowded and just...
Get a room and spend at least one night on that side of the park. We were there last summer and really enjoyed the Many Glacier INn and that side of the park. ...

re: Educate me on RAM trucks

Posted by GITiger66 on 2/23/24 at 12:50 pm
I had three F-150s in a row (Crew Cab, 4x4) and was going to buy a 4th in 2020. After I test drove the RAM it was not even close. Now at 80,000 miles with the RAM and really happy with it. The 2020+ Rams are very different from the previous version. Drive them all and see what makes you happy. ...

re: The Grand- room choices

I personally like the older building for the ambiance, but haven't been in couple of years. The last couple of times we looked at going the rate was outrageous ($500/nt) so we ended up going somewhere else. But it is a cool spot....

Ford Expedition vs Suburban

Posted by GITiger66 on 12/27/23 at 6:16 pm
Looking to buy a new expedition or suburban. A comparable suburban is $3-5K more, but they also appear to hold their value better. I have never owned an ecoboost engine in any vehicle. Mostly concerned about long term value and dependability. YEs, I am aware that they are crazy expensive, but no...

Landry has taken more than $200,000 from one of the Pogie Companies that is easily verified. There is definitely more funneled through their lobbyist to him......

This whole thing a complete embarrassment. Louisiana is literally the only state that these guys are allowed to operate. They have been untouchable with our current Governor...and they are giving tons of money to Landry and other candidates. We need one of these guys to stand up and do whats righ...

re: This charter captain had a bad day

Posted by GITiger66 on 8/22/23 at 3:26 pm
I am not a charter guide, but I take a lot of people fishing that are never on boats and it can be insanely frustrating. However, this guy is supposed to a professional and losing your sh_t like that is unacceptable. He should have made his point and then let it go, or just take them in if he didn...
