I think there's a road that connects Jasper to red deer. It might be quicker to take that back?

it is the same distance exactly from jasper to red deer, as it is to calgary. but you are right, hwy 11 goes from in between jasper and banff to red deer. it would be faster for the calgary guys to go from jasper to banff, to calgary and for the edmonton guys to go from jasper to edmonton. it looks like the faster way home from jasper for anyone is to head directly to your respective city.

iirc jasper is like 265ish km north of banff..? and there is no gas stations in between them lol. they arent really before or after each other. i think the turn off is around the lake louise area and it goes direct to jasper.

**** your lacrosse game its one of many. there is only going to be one cruise. skip the lacrosse and show some loyalty to the club please. (learning about non-nationalist loyalties in social right now lol)

but jasper is 289 kms north of banff. the only town in between i believe is lake louise. it is 60 kms from banff. so there would be a 230 kms stretch of no gas bars.

any reason why this was planned for a sunday and not a saturday? Just wondering cuz i never even thought about work on that monday. If i go up saturday and crash at someones place for the cruise on sunday, thats all fine and dandy, but cruising around sunday and then still gotta make the 400km ride back to edmonton is going to be a killer, not to mention ill have PT at 8am monday morning which is usally a 10km run...lol.

as long as no one acts like a retard, there shouldnt be any reason why the cops would pull anyone over.

I can carry gasoline if you'd like SRT-10. I'll strap it down in the trunk. I'm also picking up one of those "Go-hero" HD cameras that stick to the side of your car and stuff, so hopefully get some good videos.

Don't forget waterproof and widescreen .

I'll e-mail a few people on there. I think it would be really neat to have though. I want it for the track too.
