Day 7. “It really is quite spectacular.”That was the first thing Dave said when we hit the road this morning, and that pretty much describes how the rest of the day went. We drove and drove and drove around bend after bend to see one spectacular view after another - I took more than 30 pictures of just the mountains! Windows open, sun shining and the smell the pine trees … life, is good. Clyde agrees. We stopped for lunch at a roadside rest stop by a river under ‘playboy mountain’ (see picture). Today’s big thing –uhm, pick a mountain.
I’m pretty sure I spotted Sasquatch crossing the highway. I saw something human run cross the road, but when we got closer, it disappeared into the wilderness. Maybe I’m just delirious from being in the car for so long. Or am I? We’ll never know, but I know what I saw!
We drove through Banff and Lake Louise, then got off the Trans Canada and made our way through the Okanogan Valley to Kelowna. It started raining hard late in the day, so we decided hotel it tonight. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE camping, but it’s kinda nice to have all the amenities without the mosquitoes for one night, and not pay $2 for a 5 minute shower or $30 for firewood.
Oh, and we crossed another time zone.
