Arrived !

   I woke up Saturday morning and wasn't in a hurry, with only 200 miles to Whistler it looked like an easy drive. I wasn't sure why the car GPS said 4.5 hours for such a short distance.

   The road from Kamloops to Whistler starts out on the smooth TCH then turns south on the very scenic BC Rt. 99, a much narrower road up through mountains. Some of the bridges were single lanes made of wood.

   Scenery was so good I had to make stops for pictures, the road was all up and down, sometimes turning completely around as it climbed up and over from sea level to 5,000 ft and back down.

   I made it to Whistler in a little over 5 hours and met Rob's daughter Leslie who checked us in at the lodge condo. I left around 7:00 pm to pickup Mary at Vancouver airport. The road is called the Sea to Sky Highway was was another really pretty ride. Mary raved about it on the way back north, and it was even dark. It was a late finish, getting finally settled at 1:00 am.
