Just a little road trip....

That video is cool Gary.

You picked a great week for your trip. Roads were mostly clear and wet later in the week. Sunny with clouds but that wind keeps on blowing...
We went snowmobiling and luck we took our chainsaw, that wind storm knocked down a lot of trees.


Great pics
Soup.

A guy I know..lives in Victoria and monitors the Revelstoke's Railway Museum webcam I gave him a heads-up and he did a couple screen shots.

Monday night in Kimberly...minus 10...****, that was cold. Along about 5 I was up doing the manly thing and found there was a frozen line or water at the pump...but frozen. I accessed the pump and wrapped a blanket around it. I leave the hot water tank on, in cold spells which keeps that whole under sink area warm. Anyway, by 7, it was running again. Wasn't any milder...kept dropping....

Next day it was on to Golden...that whole day was cold, windy and just not a day made for doing much except driving. Had to resolve a computer issue, so availed myself of the wifi provided by Save-On Foods. At the mid-way..a beer at the Whitetooth Craft House made it all seem possible.



Like this?

This morning thru the Rogers Pass...and man...such a fabulously sunny morning. Those mountains, covered in ice and snow...and no traffic at all..and no where to pull of to take a picture. The snow plowing had effectively eliminated any view points.

If anyone needs to know...year round water and dump in Revelstoke by the city yards.

Down into Salmon Arm tonight..supper at a favourite joint..Yans... well, not AT Yans..in the parking lot.

We'll get home tomorrow.

Oh and make sure not to cross various lines on a map - according to politicians license plates begin shedding virus’s’z immediately upon leaving um town? or is it health region? Or is it province?

Anyway it begins immediately...

The gov't request is to not cross provincial boundaries, so we are within BC's lines.

Gary

Been down that hill a few times going westbound towing our fifth in the summer time always a little pucker factor and extremely relieved when we get to the bottom. I can’t imagine what it must be like in the winter if the road isn’t perfect. Awesome view from the top. Have a good trip, stay safe.

You could park overnight at the boat launch at Syringa Creek PP. during the day there are people walking dogs etc at the boat launch and at 1/2 km farther up the road at the campground, however by late afternoon, there won’t be a sole around.
The boat launch is the first left after the big condo complex ( couple hundred yards)
After you turn in, I suggest taking a right turn at the bottom of the little hill, as you enter the large parking area. After you enter the big parking area at the bottom of the little hill, the all season boat launch is to the boat left, and the summer season boat launch is to the right. Summer boat launch is a long ways from the water right now, so little if any traffic down that way.
Have fun on your trip.

Thank you...we rolled just a bit past, to Robson...the Lions Head pub...they okay'd parking in their lot..and here we are, deer trotting by this morning.

Love their deep fried pickles....

They have killer fish and chips. ( nothing compared to places on the coastal water ways can make) but for a little pub at the top of a defunct ferry ramp on the shores of the Columbia River, surrounded by mountains, it’s pretty good.
PS: I used to live 3 driveways west of the pub. Me and my 2 neighbours were the first people to drink a beer at the pub. Yup... we wondered down there with a couple beers in hand the night the poured the footings.... :B
Enjoy your trip.

Think you are going to run into nasty weather?

The forecast shows sun for the next couple days, with cool temps. We could get some snow, no doubt but we can park whenever we need to. Don't HAVE to be be home till we get there, although the lady has a hair appointment on Friday and..you know..things could be tense.
