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





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.











Eric at the Lillooet
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.







We are 105 Kilometers from
100 Mile House, where we
will spend the night.






British Columbia has open
range for cattle.







The sign for 70 Mile House





We are spending the night in
the Save On Foods
parking lot in 100 Mile House.
