July 13th - Rocky Mountaineer Adventure - #5
So LUSH green! It's trying to spit out there. Lots of shorter tunnels enroute, and now a longer one at Cannaught Tunnel, around Golden. About 8 miles long taking 6-8 minutes to go through. Took $9 million to finish with $2.5 million in dynamite and 2 years to complete.
Mt McDonald with tunnel.
Various snow sheds we've traveled through for controlled avalanches to disperse huge areas of snow build up.
Lunch was 2:30ish. OMGG the food us unbelievable even if I don't know all the ingredients! Appetizer was shaved prosciutto and marinated bocconcinia (cheese), pickled root vegetables, preserved lemon aioli and baguette. I had the Alberta striploin steak with asparagus and carrots, wild mushrooms and red wine just (delicious). Dessert was a light and fluffy lemon lavender posset - like a mousse, Leanne took my macaroon as I had a piece of Rod's very rich chocolate torte - to die for!!!
