British Columbia

   I drove about 500 miles on Friday but it seemed like a lot more. I stopped at Lake Louise for lunch and a walk around. The clouds were high enough so visibility was good; the lake is about 6,000 ft up in the mountains and the water was even bluer than the picture.

   I was a little nervous about crossing the Rockies but it was no problem, the TCH road was in great shape. I drove a bit on the slow and cautious side, there were lots of curvy spots and again great scenery.

   I crossed into British Columbia and changed time zones again; the mountains got gradually smaller and covered with pines instead if snow. I broke for the night in Kamloops, about  4 hours left to Whistler. I'll be happy to see Mary tonight, she gets into Vancouver about 9:30. It'll be great to spend a week somewhere else than behind the steering wheel.
