I was fortunate enough to have five stops with friends along the 1500 km trip.
My goal for years has been to someday have a home on a lake or bay where my kayak can be in the backyard. Two of my friends recently moved and now have this!
Such a gorgeous part of BC to travel through!Read more

I headed north to camp with a friend from Cascade, Debbie, and her friends for a couple days over Memorial Day weekend. While they were out exploring on their side-by-sides, I got out for some hikes and watched all the kayaks and rafts running the Lochsa River.
I stopped for one night on the way back to Revelstoke with another friend from Cascade, Jeannie, who now lives in Coeur d'Alene.Read more

Spent three nights with Karen in her new town of Paonia, population 1500. She's here on a one year contract with AmeriCorps Vista, and plans to make this her new home. It's a friendly town with lots of music and food options.
She's currently living on a wonderful property called Elderberry's, an herbal education and retreat center, with a plan to buy her own home when the right place comes available.Read more

Left Calgary Sunday morning after the concert and got as far as Whitefish/Kalispell, Montana for the night.
Next night was camping in Mammoth Got Springs Campground at Yellowstone's North entrance. That was the coldest night in the car so far - 22F / -6C.
There was a snow storm in the park, with 14 cars reported to have slid off the road so the route to the West entrance was closed the next morning. I gave up on visiting Jackson Hole this trip and went up and around to Sheridan, Wyoming for the next night.Read more

I spent two weeks in Revelstoke. Had a great time taking care of Remi (Evelyn's dog) for a week while she was away, and then with Evelyn for the second week. Got to spend time with friends and Sage, and regroup before the next road trip. I've added the concert in Calgary to this post. Really enjoyed seeing James Taylor and Jackson Browne with Cindy.Read more
