Blowin' This Popsicle Stand

We broke camp at the ranch near Kamloops and headed south on a midnight run to Aldergrove yesterday. Today is Hallowe'en, and we've been hearing fireworks going off for about 4 hours now. The dogs don't care, it just sounds like hunters to them, a sound they are used to from living out in the bush.

We took the Canyon highway down in the dark last night, running into patches of fog, and a spot near Boston Bar where we had to wait for a flag person to let us continue on our way, past a BC Hydro heavy gang restoring a pole knocked out by a less-than-stellar driver. The wind kicked up near Yale, and the road from there to Hope was peppered with an interesting display of Big Maple leaves performing whirling dervishes across the road in front of us.

We are staying at the same RV park as we did when we came back from the States this spring. We have the best spot again, right at the back beside large trees and fields. We will be making our way across the border in a few days, on Sunday morning. So that's the first of many posts for our 2011 - 2012 trip. Keep tuned for more interesting adventures (cough)...
