Oh Canada....

The good thing about a good snow year is good snow. The bad thing I suppose is that that snow also falls on the roads.

We were used to some hairy road conditions for the drive up to Baker but then we were in for some more during our drive to Revelstoke. The first part was going over the Coquihalla pass. On the way up it got progressively more and more snowy, heaps of trucks stopped along the side putting chains on. I started to wonder if we were actually going to make it! Of course I'm exaggerating here cos it's probably just another snow day for local Canadians but was getting hairy.

We eventually made it and stopped in Merritt for some A&W. I think the boys appreciated this particular brand of burger. Jarrod took over the rest of the drive and got lumped with driving into Revelstoke in the dark, snowy night. I'd say he was concentrating pretty hard, I decided it was just better to go to sleep!

Once in Revelstoke though we were greeted by a VERY snowy city, the snowbanks were big but the main think was the roads were covered in snow. It definitely made us feel better about leaving our now beloved Mt Baker.

I also had a brush with the law this night. Pulling out of a gas station we decided to nip the wrong way up a one way street. The road actually looped around and who should we meet coming the other way? The RCMP. Thankfully he let me off!

We all went to sleep that night with the snow PUKING outside. I could see it out my window cos I had to leave it open cos once again my room was like a sauna! Anyway we had high hopes for tomorrow.
