Abbotsford to Kamloops - June 23


Since I do alot of work on my own vehicles which are mostly foreign cars
I definitely needed a metric adjustable wrench.  
The only souvenir I wanted to get in
Canada 
Leaving Abbotsford and heading into Vancouver
with threatening clouds and weather for the day.


The Sea to Sky Highway from Vancouver toward Whistler
(where the Olympics were held)
Doing alot of miles Kilometers today - so we need to keep moving but also watch our speed.  It is really hard to see those smallish red numbers that designate KM/hr. without my reading glasses.  Alot of ground is covered and so many beautiful places to stop for pictures here are just a few....
Signs in Aboriginal language  


Whistler Ski runs with snow on June 23
 
Whistler is the second previous Olympic venue we have seen - the first was Salt Lake City where we saw the Olympic ski jump. 
Mountains in Whistler



Duffy Lake Road toward Kamloops
  


Lovely roads and incredible views.
 


Crystal clear lakes and stunning skies. 
 

We love the twisty road but need to be careful to watch the road more than the views.
 

Motorcycles were built for roads like these.


Sights take your breath away around every corner  

An environment so beautiful (yet difficult
for alot of things to grow)  

We push on as the surroundings change
from lush to more barren and dry.

Surroundings remind us of Nevada and eastern Oregon.  

The spectacular skies continue to follow us.





Looking for a Campground in Kamloops and Gas at the same time - even motorcycles do not run on fumes.
