Driving into and through British Columbia has been one of the most incredible drives we've been on. We pass through Yoho National Park and Canada's Glacier National Park. Waterfalls cascade down glacial mountains. Rivers and lakes shimmer as they run next to the freeway. Bald Eagles are perched on the tops of trees around every bend. The water reflects all of these beauties along with reflecting the fog that clings to the trees and mountains.
We made it about halfway to Vancouver, and Janae found a free campsite off the freeway near White Cloud Lake. It was a lovely area, serene and idyllic. Only one other vehicle was there. However, the rain had made the dirt road and camping area muddy and slick. As we tried to unhook the trailer it slipped and the pole became lodged deep in the mud. It took some ingenuity by and materials support of our neighbor to help us stabilize and support our trailer.
It rained all through the night and following morning. We both had hopeful dreams about the charms of the lake, but awoke to fog hanging low on the lake.
The flora, fauna, and birds of the area were quite lovely, we would have loved to stay and see what fun we could have when it dried up.
Found this spear near our campsite...guess we should've gone fishing!
We had to four wheel it out of the mud, and back up the hill, but we did and now we are doing laundry at flying J before heading to Vancouver!
Peace out!
all that mud is part of the fun of the journey!!! Loving every picture and the blog!
