MY GERIATRIC MIND MISCALCULATED THE TIME I ALLOWED TO GET TO VANCOUVER MY GERIATRIC BODY HOWEVER SURVIVED A 1240 KM DAY EPIC THAT STARTED AT 5.30AM AND ENDED AT 12.30AM NEXT DAY -AFTER 2HR DELAY BECAUSE OF A DOUBLE FATAL ACCIDENT AND MY VISITATION TO 6 WRECKERS BEFORE I GOT A RELACEMENT QUARTER WINDOW THAT I HAD TO BREAK AFTER ANOTHER SENIOR MOMENT OF LOCKING THE KEYS INSIDE VAN. THESE SHOTS SHOW AMAZING COUNTRY THROUGH FRASER AND THOMPSON RIVER CANYONS




















PRINCE RUPERT EARLY MORNING AFTER LINING UP FOR FERRY AT 4.30AM AND THE OBVIOUS LACK OF CARS BECAUSE WE HAD ARRIVED A DAY EARLY!! SO A BONUS DAY TO EXPLORE
