Being away for a couple of years, I finally had to pull the 914 off the jack stands and drive it.  After 3 years of sitting it started right up - but the old fuel injection line started to leak.  Fortunately I had a full fuel line replacement kit on hand and was on my way within an hour or so.  August is our wedding anniversary month and we usually go to the Alberta Rockies to have some time away from the rest of the family.

The weather could not have been better, sunny with clear skys the entire week-end.  We splurged this year and stayed at the Banff Springs Hotel.  It was a busy week-end and we received a free upgrade and stayed in the Queen's Room, a room where the Queen of England stayed over 50 years ago during an early visit to Canada during her reign.  During the week-end we drove the twisty highway 1A from Banff to Lake Louise, then drove to Moraine Lake.  After that we took the gondola at the Lake Louise ski resort and then drove to Marble Canyon where we walked to the falls.  After out traditional Geek meal at the Balkan's we took in Elbow falls just near our hotel.  On the way home the final day we drove to Lake Louise took in the sites and then headed back to Calgary ready to head back to Texas.  The car performed marvelously and received many accolades.
