Vancouver - B.C.
Finally some warm weather again. Northern and central B.C. is beautiful but much cooler.
Camped the last 2 night. Last night was off Hwy 99 in Marble Canyon. No trailers! Wooo Hooo!! Quiet place on the banks of Crown Lake.
Took Hwy 99 south from Clinton to Vancouver. This is the Sea-to-Sky highway. It's nuts!
(Jeff..it's 100 kms of Forks road - hairpins included, down hill). We passed Whistler and Squamish. Locals call this the nicest road in Canada. Can't really disagree, but we've been on some great roads all over.
As it turns out, we arrived in Vancouver late this aft and found out it's Pride weekend here, plus a long weekend. We made at least 10 calls and finally found a room - right in the Village (they have their own Church St. here). The next 2 nights we'll be in a hostel. Tuesday we take the ferry to Victoria island...so we're going a little further west before we head to Toronto.
