Osoyoos to Nelson
Just a note about Osoyoos in case you are ever here... all the gas stations are west side of town. There is also a great campground on a spit of land that juts right out into the middle of Osoyoos Lake...
Mission to Osoyoos
What a dramatic change! From the lushness and greenery of the Fraser Valley, to the arid (but equally as verdant) Lower Okanagan Valley. Here irrigation rules the day. Without it the land is a step...
Lower Mainland BC
An exhausting place to live we think ... but for all that, we know and love people who live here anyway. Lynn's sister Ruth and husband Doug were our base for the next two days. We enjoyed our walk in...
Butchart Gardens
WOW ... they know and understand the details of making an incredibly enjoyable and memorable visit a reality. The gardens were begun by Mr. & Mrs. Butchart in an effort to beautify a worked-out quarry...
Nanaimo to Victoria
Not much to report on this segment, lots of traffic, however the highway is two lane divided so we did not create any traffic hazard. Drove by Lynn's dad's house...it is still there but we don't have a...
Campbell River to Nanaimo
Nice day, the roadsides are all so very green, just as I remember from growing up on the Island. There is a new double lane, divided highway all the way. It makes for easy travel, though I don't think...
Port Edward to Campbell River
Not much to see and do in Port Edward, really just a suburb of Prince Rupert. We visited the North Pacific Cannery Museum though we went knowing it wasn't open. Had a nice wander around and thought it...
Touching Base
We have all this great news and chatter prepared on the laptop, but we don't have any understanding of how to connect. Hopefully one of those brilliant sons can clue us in before too long. We are having...
Meziadin to Stewart
Gorgeous drive into Stewart, too bad it stopped there. It is definitely worth the drive, but our impression of Stewart is that it is somewhat depressed. The homes appear run-down, many buildings for...
People are such slobs!
Why is it that people seem to think it okay to just drop garbage wherever? We think it amazing, it doesn't matter where we go, if people have been there before, there is garbage! Disgusting ... I think...
Today was the day
Even though we were up at 6 am, it was still noon before we managed to leave the house, do a few last chores in town and go the 10 km to pick up the trailer. And then we realized we still missed doing...
