Life on the ranch
... had a swim at a lake that was green - clean though, don't worry - where we had lunch. No idea what this lake was called, stopped at so many during out time in Canada its hard to keep up. Cold though, so swam from one side to the other which was a lot further than it looked. Glad I'm a halfway decent swimmer! Attempted to play frisbee out there however I definitely was at a height disadvantage. Nicely refreshed, it was back in the van for the rest of the drive.
After a long time in ...
Giddy up
We were up early today in order to get ready for our tent inspection but it was very difficult to get our eyes open and our bodies moving after another night of minimal sleep. It had been very cold throughout the night, and remained that way this morning. The mozzies were also back out in force - I had to kill 11 in the shower and Laura had to kill 7, and so I was relegated to sitting in the van whilst the camp was deconstructed. I hate not being able to help, but Laura, Shellie and Gem ...
Dolly - Fierce
We got up this morning to pack our tent away for the last time as the remainder of the trek we would be staying at a ranch and in a hostel, we yet again relegated Deej to the van as we deconstructed the two tents, we've never met anyone who swells so much when bitten so was safer for her this way - even though she sat with a cod-face the whole time. We climbed into the Hound-Dog and set off for Wells Grey, we had a horseback ride booked for the afternoon at the ranch we ...
On the road again.....North we go
... the road again and seeing new parks, we were most sad that this family time had come to an end. Never mind.........the great thing about family is we will always see them again. We stopped at Solly's (the Jewish bakery) for cinnamon buns and then at Fujiya for lunch sushi before fighting traffic east out of Vancouver. This task was made a bit more complicated by the pouring rain that we endured for most of today's drive. We made it to Kamloops around 2pm but the rain was still ...
Mt Robson and Wells Gray
... Putting in the tent pegs proved to be difficult in the hard rocky soil, so we had a little help from the Park Warden. Because we had some time on our hands we decided to head across the way to Helmcken Falls. They were absolutely huge at 141m almost 3 times that of Niagara Falls. The roar and steam given off as the water thundered down on the rocks below was quite impressive.
In the morning, we got up unusually early because Steffie ...
