We had a room in Surrey last night which we got into about 9 PM
The room was good enough and we were out the door about 7:30 AM for a breakfast at a nearby McDonald’s.
By about 8 AM we started making our way through the city taking a southern route to avoid the construction on Highway 1 in the Langley area.
We had lunch at a Popeye’s in Kamloops ( great chicken burgers). The smoke from the forest fires wasn’t bad and we were not delayed at any point.
Heading north from Kamloops we hit stop and go constructions zones quite a few times. At Barriere I saw a slow speed car crash when I glanced up in my mirror. It was a fender bender and was the result of a frustrated driver getting tired of going 2 mph for “ages” ( it was a “very” backed up road at this point) and trying to turn back the way we came. He/She didn’t realize a truck had moved into the spot he/she had just vacated when he turned into the unfortunate one who had been right behind him in line. Oops!!!!!
We debated back and forth for quite a while about going home tonight but in the end decided it was still too far and we had been driving/ eating etc for eight hours already.
We got to Valemount and lucked out getting the last room at the Days Inn ( which only available because of a cancellation-lucky break for us!)
The hotel has a pool so Caro will be enjoying the hot tub tonight ( I didn’t bring swimming trunks this trip)
