Highway to Hell
... while in the area. The drive was just magestic. On this highway, the truckers knew what they were doing. One even signalled so I knew that it was either cops or wildlife. Was the latter. A couple of big horn sheep licking the salt off of the highway. Stopped but they didn't move so drove around them. Signalled everyone oncoming for the next couple clicks.
What a beautiful drive the Rockies are...stunning to say the least. Pulled over for a nap ...
First Oil Change
... more professional photos that we'll be adding to the blog soon! Some of them are really amazing shots.
Tomorrow we get a little closer to Vancouver, which means a little closer to Dan Cookson!!! WOOHOO!! We have plans to meet up with him on Thursday evening, and he's given us some advice on a campsite to check out tomorrow night, with more hot springs! So glad that we did this trip, it really is a beautiful country.

Days 18 & 19 Leaving Whistler > Kamloops > Jas

We booked into the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge....don't get excited I got an excellent price ...
Christmas at home
... in India over the next 2 months. Then it's off to Nepal, Southeast Asia, Morocco, Egypt, Israel, and as many places in Europe as I can afford to round off the year.
Stay tuned for updates from the road...oh and if you have any contacts, travel advice, must-see attractions, etc. in the regions I plan to travel that you would like to share, please do!
Happy new year ...
Canada's Tournament City
24th cont.
We arrived into Kamloops around 2pm and made some enquiries at the Visitor Centre about mechanics. Then we headed off to a couple to see if they could first help with the battery problem and also the spluttering. After being told that they were all too busy today, we got lucky at one nearby. Out came the volt metre and he quickly diagnosed that we needed and new solenoid/isolator. So we bought one round the corner and fitted it in a car ...
