First, I am actually post this on day 3.. End of day 2 found us at a location that charged $5.00 for 15 minutes of internet use. e-mail only.... So, I am updating day 2 on day 3.
Day 2 had Patrick and I leaving Scott & Glady's place in Woodinville late. Seems that the night before, when we installed the antenna on the roof of the camper, there were a bunch of tree limbs now blocking our path. Sometimes daybreak can be a bother. So, we had a choice, cut off the branches, or climb back up on the camper and remove the antenna. Scott got a saw.....
With that, we were about 1 1/2 hours behind schedule meeting the rest of our party in Burlington where we had a schedule fuel stop.
Crossed the US/Canadian border without incedent and headed up the Fraser River.
What an amazing varied scenery today. From broad river valley where it was raining, through high desert area of Lytton and Spences Bridge and ending up a Lac la Hache where, at 2700' MSL, the geography felt more like near tree line of arctic. Lots of aspen and stunted alpine evergreens.
Since my current connection is a dialup; no pictures today.
Total mileage today - 378.
From time to time, and not often enough, we get out stuff together and take a major camping trip. Here are some of the details.

- This started on a camping trip up the Alaska Highway in 2007. The name is from the "Top of the World Highway" Wikipedia article linking Alaska to Yukon Territory. That trip and this blog was so successful, I'm carrying on the tradition whenever we make major trips.
