Thursday,July 8 (p.m.)

I thought I had lost the earlier posting from today, but I see it went through after all. Drove 6.5 hours today (really heavy day!) and am now at Kamloops, British Columbia.....which is about halfway between Banff Nat'l Park and Seattle.

What a gorgeous drive. Mountain peaks on both sides most of the way, with beautiful green pine trees standing so erect, nearly to the tops of the peaks. The early part of the day, the many rivers we passed all were a sort of milky aqua color. Kind of weird. They manufacture mica up here so maybe that is what's in the water. Later we were again blessed with clear green water. Yes, beyond blue, it was green.

Unfortunately we had lots of construction along the way. The roads between construction sites were pretty bumpy, but by next year, the roads will be great. So plan your trips for 2011.

Next is Seattle.
