WE DID IT!

Broken ribs and bruised knees to completion.  Vicky had dreams of "Sound of Music" songs in her head most of this last stretch.  This will be a quick post, seeing as we've created a line of people waiting for this computer near Banff, Canada.  Vicky started this section worrying about a broken floating rib; she then went over Fire Creek Pass, slid down 100 feet of snow into a pile of rocks and seriously bruised her shins and perhaps did more damage (but that's for the doc to decide when we get back).  But then we met two women from Canada who ensured us that from Stehakin onto the end, there would be no snow (they were what they call SoBos).  And Canadians don't lie.  We pushed onwards after a nice stay in Stehakin, met up with our friend Alex ("come on Alex, you can do it...") and made it to Canada  More details will be provided later.  We post only a few pictures here.  For now, let's just end this by saying "Yes We Did."
