Walkabout With Wheels Blog: We Leave the United States to Start Our Trip North to Alaska

We will stop at the Duty Free
Shop, someday...

Our motorhome was pulled over for an inspection at the Canadian border. There was a reason for the neurotic cleaning yesterday... Company's coming!

After fifteen minutes, the Customs Agents returned with our passports and keys. We were free to go. No comments on my paperback choices... Whew!

We crossed the Alex

Fraser Bridge.

I saw several Car 2 Go
on our way through
North Vancouver.

Eric asked me to get a photo

of this road sign.

As we travel north, we
delight in the scenery.

We become alert for horses

crossing the roadway.

Much to our surprise,

a horse contemplating

crossing the road.

Eric points out the road

delineators that are

mounted in the rock

next to the roadway.

We pull over at a View Point
at Lake Green.

A sea plane...

....takes off

A reminder of the steep,

mountainous terrain we

are travelling through.

Check out this

"ribbon of highway."

Stopping is forbidden in

avalanche areas.

The ice is breaking up

on this lake.

Eric thinks that an avalanche

crossed the road at this point.

Eric is very careful driving down

this thirteen percent grade.

We are very impressed by

this hairpin turn.

Welcome Sign

Two young travelers from Australia, Amy and Joey, hiked up the road from their disabled car to ask for help. Their brakes had failed and they were in need of a working cell phone... No luck, as we are too far from Lillooet. Eric and I unhitched our Jeep and I drove Amy and Meghan to the Kal Tire in Lillooet. When I left them, they were waiting for a tow truck to bring their car into town for brake work.
