August 6 Saturday.
Got an appointment with Onan to look at the Generator the following Thursday in Calgurary. Took off south for the Columbia Ice Flow. It was great, only problem we didn�t put the media back in the camera so only pictures we have were from a cd I bought in the Gift Shop. The Columbia Ice Field Center was about 67 mile south of Jasper. We bought ticket for the tour. It started with a bus ride from the center to the Athabasca Glacier base camp where we got off the bus and got back onto a giant Ice Bus with wheels 5 feet in diameter and 18 inches wide. These buses were made specially for glacier travel. They are 6 wheel drive and have a top speed of 12 mph. The hold 64 passengers. The tour last about an hour including the ride to and from the center. Let see..... 64 people times $33.00 equals $2,112 a trip. Now they run 10 hours a day. $21,120 per bus per day. OH I forgot they have 6 buses, him....that mean they could bring in $126,720 a day if all the slots were full. Not bad.
