    Looking for Banff and Jasper suggestions

    If you can fit in a morning hike out of Lake Louise, https://www.banfflakelouise.com/hiking/tea-houses, the views are incomparable. And so are the pastries baked in the woodstove at the Lake Agnes Tea House. My wife and I did hike to Agnes and then over the ridge and back down to Lake Louise...

    Just Bought a Vintage Alaskan 8' NCO and I Have Tons of Questions!

    Rusty, Do you have any info (links) on valves to balance pressure? Like the OP the front jacks up faster than the rear on my camper. With valves I could slow the front down and manage the rear progress with hand pressure as I articulate the manual pump.
