Mountain towns are an interesting lot. From the highway it's easy to mistake them as little more than truck stops with homes for the proprietors. But drive into one and you'll find most of them are no different than any other small town.
Such it is with Clearwater. This little village in British Columbia seems to be but a couple motels and …
Life on the ranch

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 ...
