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 ...
Dolly - Fierce
... great conditions but done a fab job. After we'd eaten Shellie, Stains, Deej and myself headed down to the saloon, sat by the campfire and watched the most amazing thunderstorm in the distance. There were huge forks of lightening which made the whole sky light up, this continued for over an hour, Rachel arrived soon after and Mario and one of the ranch hands Billy (who was from Labrador and spoke a bizarre hybrid of Canadian & Irish accents) joined us for a chat. ...
Giddy up
... a tiny mountain town called Valemount for the last groceries of our journey...everything's slowly coming to an end for this trek now and I for one am feeling a little melancholy, as we've met some amazing people.

However, when Casey went to check us in, he was told that there had been a mix up and that our ride had been double booked. As an apology, the ranch owners ...
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
... for roadworks and quite a few wide loads on their way up north to Prince George.
After stopping for lunch on the roadside, we finally drove into Clearwater which is the gateway town to Wells Gray. The information centre provided us with a map and because it was still early in the afternoon, we headed to A & W to have a burger and connect with the outside world. From there it was a 40km windy drive to the campground which we found to ...
