We had a sleeper so I tried to sleep, a big mistake as everytime the train went around a corner you rolled from one side of the bed to the other, I gues it was worth it when we finally got to Vancouver (26 hours later). It really is quite a pretty place.

Hi Kathy
I think the trouble with summer travelling is that everybody's doin' their holiday tourist thing. Hard to kick back and enjoy the view in a crowded place...and if you're travelling with kids
It IS gorgeous thru BC, lots of variation in views. I like it best travelling in a comfy van with lots of stops for cigarette breaks and stretching...or a motorcycle in good weather
KAMLOOPS area fires... nothing major and good progress the last couple of days but they expect a tough day today with strong winds. CRANBROOK flared so there are some evacuations SW of there.
Photos of the burnt out KELOWNA areas hard to see. Last count from yesterday was 244 houses burnt up. On the KELOWNA fire alone there are 350 Soldiers fighting alongside the other firefighters.
A few odd drops of rain here and am hearing some big thunders (to go with the sounds of helicopters/planes we hear all day long lately. They take off/land about two blocks from our place . We've got a very small airstrip on our waterfront.... gotta shut down my computer til the thunder stops...takecare Carman
