We decided to have a slow morning before hitting the road with no particular destination in mind. Gary said, he’ll stop when he gets tired. We drove 275 miles and 8 hours before that happened. We set up for dry camping. 

I know, I know. Something is missing… where are the snow capped mountains? We have moved south enough into British Columbia that the mountains are more like hills to us now and the daytime temperatures are climbing. It was in the 80’s today. 

So what does one do with 8 hours in the car? I read the Milepost magazine that gives me detailed information of what is ahead. I can tell Gary where the gas station is, the next pull off and what species of fish are in the rivers we cross over! And we snack and watch the scenery go by. 

It’s kind of like being at the movies when scenes like this pop up!!

Gary desperately wanted a “room with a view” on this dry camping site so when he reached the top of a mountain overlooking a valley he stopped. No amount of trying would get the trailer level and he chalked every wheel he could (for my sake, not his). Admittedly it was a bit tenuous for us both. But the sunset was worth the view.

No road kill to speak of today.
