Waterton Village & Snow In August

Deer Feeding In Waterton Village
Deer Feeding In Waterton VillageToday is the first time I've ever seen it snow in August.   It didn't actually snow ON us, but it rained on us and there was plenty of fresh snow in the surrounding mountains as we drove to, and through, Waterton Village. I'd say the snow level was at about the 2500-3000 foot level. They talk in meters here, but I don't relate to that metric stuff.    Fresh Snow August 24, 2005

Because of the rainy/snowy weather we did not do any walking around the village, other than scurrying from the car to the restaurant for lunch and back again. We saw lots of deer feeding right in the village.  See picture and clik on images to enlarge.   We saw lots of real estate "for sale" signs, but did not have the time to inquire about the details.  Rumor has it taxes on a cabin in the village run about $8,000 per year.   Wish I had more time here!
After the trip to Waterton, I went to the local church bookstore while Max took a little nap, in preparation for his birthday party this evening.  His two sisters had put an ad in the local paper and quite a few people showed up, which is nice considering Max hasn't actually lived here for over 50 years!  Many of them were family (nieces & nephews), but there were also people from his childhood.   It was fun.

Tomorrow morning we will go to his sister's campsite for breakfast.  They "camp" in a 40 foot motorhome, so it's not really camping but I guess they still call it that.  After that we will go visit one of Max's childhood teachers before we get back on the road and head home.  We will be able to drive 4-6 hours tomorrow and make it home Friday.  I have appointments for the week-end and lots of prep work to do for clients next week.
