ref Hammond Barn pilgrimage
Robert I live not far from Bob and the barn crew, and will be happy to meet and shake hands. I always learn something whenever I'm at Hammond. If you have been around long enough to remember the tales of breakfast at Marie's, we can visit the site and say a quiet prayer that the restaurant lives on in our memories. BTW, my gun club is about the same distance south of Marie's, as the Barn is north of Marie's. If you want to burn gunpowder or fire some things that are legal in Canada but not in Australia, just send me a message or post here.

Robert.
I have driven through the mountains in BC several times. As you approach them they look magnificent but I have always found that once you are driving in them, your view becomes very restricted by your vehicles roof and windows. We did the drive again last year at this time and our vehicle had a panoramic moon roof. HUGE improvement in the view! It is a trip I would like to do again one year in an open convertible. David By the way. In the 5th picture RobertM posted, the big concrete wall the highway is heading to is a giant snow shed. You will drive through several of them as you approach the mountain passes. They are built where winter avalanches are common to direct the snow safely over the highway. To the left of that photo, on the upslope, you can see the clear path where the trees once were. They never really get a chance to reestablish once avalanches start clearing them out. D Last edited by David Dunlop; 01-09-19 at 02:38. Reason: Brain fart.

Hi Robert
we don't have much in the way of CMP's but we do have a few interesting vehicles kicking around the shop, we are conveniently located right off Hwy #1 as you are leaving Vancouver, as Rob said if you give me a bit of notice we would be happy to give you the nickle tour...probably take a smidge less time than Rob's! Best Regards John
