Hope, British Columbia

We crossed the boarder and almost took out the guard shack.  We had to unhook the car and hook up after Bill got the RV and I got the car through the check point.  Thank God it was an easy pass through.  I have heard so many horror stories. 

We stayed at Sunshine Valley RV Resort and this was our view.  We stayed here for two days.

Our first day of exploring took us to Hell's Gate.  It's a tram ride over the rapids.  The explorer who came through here said, "The waters are so ruff this must be the gates of hell."  And the name stuck.

 

 The salmon ladder is on the right

 

 

 

 The second day we went to Harrison Hot Springs, Bridal Veil Falls and toured the town of Hope.

 

 

 

 

 

The town of Hope is known for its chain saw carvings.  They had some beautiful work.

 

 

 

This carving is dedicated to a police dog who died

protecting his partner.

 

 

 We have gone through lots of tunnels.

 

Today we are at 100 Mile House, B.C.  We will be here for two days. 

Hope you all enjoying our adventure north.

Our Last Stop in Washington is with Friends

This life style is so great because you can meet up with people you got to

know at another place. 

 

We met Rich, Jo and Gypsy at Sunflower this past winter.

This is the view from their new work place.

 

Yea, this is their view every morning

 

And in the evening

These are some visitors from water and land

And this is their sweet girl Gypsy

 

 What a face

 

Rich and Jo thanks for the wonderful hospitality. 

Hope to see you down the road.

 

 

 

Still Busy in Washington State

We left for Seattle around 8 am and we didn't get home till 9 pm.  It was a busy day filled with food and sites.

  

One place off Bill's bucket list!!

 

We also did a food tour called Seattle Bites

 

We walked to 10 diffent venders and all the food was fantastic. I thought I would post a couple venders and food.

 

 

At the market in an ally they have a gum wall. Yep I put the link here so you can check it out for yourself.

We ended the day at the needle

And that is a taste of our trip to Seattle, Washington.  There were a lot more photos and these are the ones I wanted to share.  

I hope you enjoy them. 

 

 

 

 

Quick Trip to Michigan

I made a quick trip home to celebrate an August arrival of our newest grand daughter.  A special thank you to everyone who attended.

It was great to see everyone and I wish I could have talked with each of you longer. 

 

Neil is the grand baby for a little while longer
