Life on the ranch
Day 1-
Another long travel day. Shipped out and first stopped off at a lake for a rather nice view (and a toilet break down the bottom of what can only be called a cliff...). After that we stopped at Fort Berens Estate winery for some wine tasting - 4 whites and 2 reds - at about 12 o'clock. Nice. The landscape has definitely changed, we're still in the mountains but its pretty much desert now. Anyway, that kept everyone happy and sleepy for the next part of the drive. At the next ...

We rolled into our hotel around 5 pm, had a nice dinner in our motel kitchen and watched some tv and chilled out before turning ...
Mt Robson and Wells Gray
... of Mt Robson, the mountains were clouded over which spoilt our view. We set up base camp at the Robson Meadows Campground where we were greeted by around 1000 mosquitos. We quickly learnt that time spent outdoors was filled with arm and neck slapping.
