Oh Canada!

There were so many fires across the state of Washington we had to change up our plans a bit after we left Couer D'Alene, ID. Several of the roads going through the state were closed so we headed north to Canada and then west.

We found the factory where they make logs :)

The border station we passed through wasn't very busy so they stopped us and searched the RV. The rainy wait during the surprisingly thorough vehicle inspection at the Canada border was interesting but kind of fun.

We drove across Highway 3 through the mountains of rural Southern British Columbia stopping at anything that seemed interesting. So beautiful!

Found this growing near the roadside on one of our stops. This probably isn't the plant I think it is, but it sure looks like it.

A "Huck Shop". This one had a lot of buried treasures.

We really loved rural BC. Somehow we stumbled upon Bromley Rock. It is a swimming hole along the Similkameen river. It's still one of our favorite spots we have been to, even though it was very cold and was raining at the time.

Another bonus of being in the middle of nowhere was that it was easy to find real nice places to stay the night.

Spotted Lake; a sacred place to the "First Nations" people. It is said to have 365 spots, one for every day of the year.

Hiking to a waterfall we found a banana slug. Jordan told me about the Banana Slug Club, a club where in order to join you must kiss a banana slug!

Jordan was excited to visit Fort Langley, Hudson Bay Company's first trading post in the west.

He was in woodworkers heaven.

There were a bunch of sheep and goats at the fort and they had little bags of food so you could feed them. It was my favorite part of visiting. They were all so cute and friendly!

Getting into civilization as we got closer to Vancouver. I'm not sure the guy on the left really want's to be in this fight. Jordan thought the poster was so so funny. He's a dork.
