BC fires
Where are the BC Wildfires specifically? Been reading about them down here. Should we avoid traveling into the Okanagan region? Or heading E. of Vancouver?

Thank you to all for sharing your thoughts and advice. I just looked at the closure map. Our original thought was to make a decision when we arrived in Prince George, but it appears a detour is definitively imminent. Gary your offer is so incredibly kind - it brought a smile to my face! Thank you! I think we’ve pretty much decided to hightail it out of this beautiful country and will likely take 5.
Ahh..too bad. You will look back and cuss yourselves for not taking US #20 across to Anacortes. #5 is just...fast. #20, you get Twisp and their great smoked meats and Winthrop..which is quite the place..Western style. Then the drive up into the North Cascades n down the other side. But, you have to have the time to do it, too. It's an all day drive from Twisp to Anacortes and just getting there from Kamloops is another full day if you don't stop here to eat and shower. #5..you'll get from Kamloops to Anacortes in maybe 6 hours, not counting the welcome home at the border. Take the Sumas crossing.
