I Saw A Dinosaur Tonight

in #travel7 years ago

Behold The Rare Jurassic Parkosaurus!!

I apologize for the terrible shot of the beast, but you know how ferocious those commercialized blockbuster swagmobiles can be. I didn't want to spook it and have it go all velociraptor on my flintlocks.

After driving a few hundred kilometers yesterday we decided to hang out in camp today. We are camping in Tunnel Mountain Village with folks from all over the world, so not only is the scenery dynamite, we also get multicultural entertainment! Our lovely Japanese neighbors provided us with a flute and harmonica fireside concert last night, and our German neighbors on the other side of us has a boisterous sing along the night before. The young couple next to us got into an argurment over smores stuff, that was also entertaining.

This meadow is just a short stroll from my tent!

One of the most peculiar bits of amusement has been gained from this particular type of RV rental that we have been seeing everywhere. This lovely beauty camped next to us the first night and we had the pleasure of traveling up The Icefields Parkway in it's company the following day:

Apologies for the language, you can only imagine what we went through with two cars full of giggling teens and tweens with this thing always in view!

The Jurassic Parkmobile I spotted tonight on my evening stroll, and while I was eating smores with the kids the Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo rolled by. I was starting to wonder if I was suffering from altitude sickness, but then got sort of excited as the possibilities hit me. Was I going to spy Kit off of Knight Rider next? Did this bananas RV rental company have Mr. T's van? If they had a version of the Tardis that you could camp in then I would be super impressed.

Guess bears and glaciers weren't the only interesting things that I spied in the woods this week.😁


And as always, all of the images in this post were taken on the author's very amused iPhone.


Additional apologetic addendum: Any posts that I make this week will be made from my phone, so my usual formatting and generikat's shelf footer will be on hiatus until I get home next week, sorry my dear followers, I didn't bring my laptop to the woods.

I was just going to say that Shaggy must have hit a rough time in life when the next paragraph I read was about the Mystery Machine, haha.

The RV rental probably keeps a menagerie of motor vehicles to accommodate the international flair of their clientele - pity the fool in management who doesn't comply.

You guys have quite the view! Keep those pictures and knee-slapper stories rolling!

I'm so sorry it took me forever to respond! We were in Glacier National Park for the last few days without cell service. Home safe and sound now, the tales will flow forth!

Such a beautiful photo with the mountains in the background.

Makes me want to travel somewhere, but I can't yet.

Oh thank you so much! It' so gorgeous here I can't quit snapping pictures!!

I had to stay put for many years as I was working on accomplishing some pretty major goals, but the rewards of all that sacrifice has been totally worth it. I hope you get to travel a ton eventually!😊

Upvoted/followed..too funny. Loved it! :)

Thank you so much! Been in the woods camping without any internet for the last few days, sorry I was so slow to reply! Followed you😊

Nice adventure buddy

Thank you so much! 😊 It's been wild!

LOL! I was so happy to come back to internet service and see this GIF of excellence! You are awesome!

Jurassic parkmobile :), how do you come up with these. First that glacier, now that succulent green meadow. Generikat, you make me suffer even worse in this heat.

Lol! These things just pop into the old brainband with ease! Although I hate causing you pain, it's only 36 degrees Fahrenheit here right now as I type this if that makes you feel a bit better! Hope tomorrow is less scorching for you😊

Today we hopefully get rain, I am mostly concerned with my fish. How long are days up there?

It' s 10:41pm and still not dark out yet! And I hope you get rain too!

That's pretty funny! Watch out for raptors.

If I see Chris Pratt then I'll really start to worry, like, need adult diapers kind of fretting...

Did ya happen to see the General Lee from Dukes of Hazard?
Great pic of the mountain peak framed between the pines!

I think that was the only vehicle that I didn't see, lol! But I am totally going to look up the rental company's website and see if they have it available! Imagine honking it's horn in the campground😉

And thank you!
