We were off from our campground by shortly after 6:30 am. To say the least we were the only people up and moving within the campground at such an hour.
For Sue we were entering new territory. She had never gone through the mountains on the Trans Canada. As a result we stopped at some of the historic sites as we drove, the first being the "spiral tunnels' and later the location of the 'Last Spike'. By the time we had reached Kamloops we had decided against the short cut (The Coquihalla Highway) and stayed on the old Trans Canada. It was new territory for both of us and there were many more tremendous views as we headed down through the Fraser River Gorge towards Hope.
We arrived in Maple Ridge at Nancy and Gashaws by 6:00 pm, another 12 hour plus day. The drive has been fun but we are glad it has ended.
Wildlife Sightings = Elk.
