another day of travel

so i head out early in the mornin and make towards kamloops and figured i would make my decision as to where i would go from there. i figured i would have enough gas to make it to revelstoke from golden...so i head out.

you would not believe the snow that i drove through. the road was pretty covered, and it was coming down. the highway was mostly 1 lane each way with occasional passing lanes. this road wound through the mountains and through two national parks, glacier national park and mount revelstoke national park. pretty, but for the most part my eyes were on the road.

so i stop at revelstoke, fill up the tank, and eat some more of my hard bread and then head out. travel was pretty smooth from there on out, roads were pretty clear anyways.

so i make it to kamloops and head into town and my phone rings. i received a call from jonathan creek about my application that i did last week, and the phone interview. she said that i had a position if i wanted it, and i said yes. score...gonna work at a summer camp in kentucky this summer!

stayed in kamloops a bit but then i bugged out. i headed out and decided to take trans-canadian (which i made the mistake of calling trans continental once) to hope.

i made a stop about the savona area, nice lake, mountains and golf course. also around this area, i stopped at a roadside place, ate, hiked, and took pictures, and found out that my camera was having some difficulties. anyways, i continued on the road towards hope.

b-e-a-utiful drive, absolutely gorgeous, and as a side note, the thompson river would be a good one to go rafting down. the scenery was spectacular, and i didnt get many pictures cause my camera was broke, but i did get some on the phone camera...gotta love it.

i eventually made it to hope about dusk and sunset. seemed like a nice little town, and i figured that i would stop and see about camping. well places were closed (and this whole winter thing hardly anybody is open...and they want to charge you money...psssh). so i figured that i would take 7 and see if there were any sweet places to pull of and sleep. no such luck. so i ended up heading to chilliwack, driving into the sunset.

as i got to chilliwack i noticed signs for camping and figured i would follow them...turned out it was like an rv park and wanted to charge...so i drove a bit further and found a nice little dead end driveway that i backed in and chilled for a bit. eventually i went to sleep. i woke up insanely early (primarily cause it was so stinkin cold...well my feet were) so i woke up and plotted some of the day's travels. as i was mapping and stuff i noticed a dude pull up on the other side of the fence (the driving range) and kinda check the car out. so i figured it was a good time to start heading out, things were starting to open up...
