We decided to take a day trip on this penultimate day in August. We drove some 500 km ( 300 miles) and did a giant loop through the mountains, then through grassy, hilly territory, back through more mountains then home again. The weather was perfect and although at times there was too much traffic ( especially those huge semi-trucks) we had a good day. We did tour an old house but this post has enough pictures so I'll save that for tomorrow. Hope you enjoy the pics.
That sign reads: High Mountain Road Expect sudden weather changes. All we did get was quite a strong side wind.
Stopped for tea by this rushing stream. Too bad previous picnickers had left a lot of garbage. How people can be so stupid is hard to grasp. We didn't let it spoil our day or our tea.
Thanks for visiting today. Love your comments.

A one day road trip where you end up back in your own bed sounds wonderful. I love exploring.
ReplyDeleteA fun day! I find it so discouraging sometimes, the mess that fellow humans will leave in a beautiful place. I think you went up the Coquihalla!
ReplyDeleteWe took the #3 to Princeton, then the 5A over to Merritt then the Coquihalla. It's a nice drive.
DeleteWow, you drove far in one day! Great photos. What a beautiful stream to have a cup of tea by. So glad you had a nice day!
ReplyDeleteHi GM! What a nice day and a lovely drive. You live in a beeeyoooootiful place! We went for drives just to look at the beauty when I was a kid. Five kids packed in the station wagon wasn't exactly comfy but looking out the window saved the day. I look forward to seeing the house photos! Thank you, friend!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun and scenic day trip. I love day trips.
ReplyDeleteI'll never understand how people are able to litter.
Such gorgeous scenery.
ReplyDeleteHubby and I always end up picking up trash when we go out. We carry bags for that now. People that litter are jerks that care little about anything but themselves. I hope there's a special place for them!!
;)
Nice trip to enjoy! Great that yous take time to do this! Nancy
