from the "home on the range" dept.

The drive went smoothly -- cruising at a good speed made the KM's fly by. However, by Kamloops, I had had quite enough, thank you. Yet a distance sign delivered bad news: Vancouver 350km. Ugh!

Highlights:

- Not finding a border marker between BC and Alberta. (press 1 for sarcasm)

- A herd of Rocky Mountain sheep on the highway near Golden. Photos to come.

- A small forest fire 50km east of Salmon Arm.

- A huge amount of traffic heading east on the Trans-Canada near Abbotsford. The back-up caused by a rockslide earlier in the week. Westbound traffic was flowing smoothly.

- A deer/elk/sasquatch I passed running down the centerline of the two westbound lanes of the TCH -- in the dark. Very scary.

- My bed.

Back at work now for the next 3 days. Then 3 off next week. Considering keeping the rental car and heading to Tofino or up north for another break. We'll see.

Cheers!
