Due to Peter's schedule (and possibly Ted's), should we consider cancelling the 13th? That way, we can meet up on the afternoon of the 14th and maybe concentrate on introductions and "inspections" followed by dinner in Canmore?
The 15th can be a solid day of driving followed by breakfast on the 16th and a quick drive before we depart.
Thoughts?
