British Columbia

Today we made the border crossing into Canada. We were prepared with all the required documents … cat vaccination, detailed qty's of booze and all vegetables/fruits we were bringing in. The only thing the crossing guard was interested in was our passports and asking if we had any guns or pepper spray/bear spray. It only took a few minutes and then I was able to ask him a few questions about the roads as we were still somewhat undecided on the best choices. And he was quite helpful.

The scenery keeps changing and today we were driving in snow capped mountains where we even passed frozen lakes in the higher elevations. The traffic was much less than what we've seen since we left. And one remarkable fact about our trip is we have not driven through or experienced a drop of rain since we left other than one big storm in the night on day 2 or 3. And the weather continues to be beautiful.

Technology wise, we will be more out of touch since our mobile data interface from the iphone will start getting very expensive while roaming in Canada. Just adding 80 minutes of roam free talking in Canada/Mexico is another $30 per month. Not sure about the data roaming charges and not eager to see the bill at the end of the month.

So we rolled into a nice campground around 4:00 with a view from our campsite of a waterfall spilling off a mountain. Good day for a couple mojitos and some relaxing.
