The Agnew Family aboard the "Dog House"

Another day of driving. Colin decided to check his tires before we left this morning and sure enough the one back tire was very low again .... must have a leak. Luckily, Ed had a container of tire sealant with him so that was added to the tire. We decided to drive highway 99 and the Sea to Sky Highway. This took us through some magnificent scenery and some amazing roads that climbed at 15% percent grades with a few hairpin turns thrown in for fun. At one place we stop at, a local who was there explained what we were looking down at. We could see the Fraser River where it joined with a smaller river. The entire area was filled with tarps and tents and there was a guy dip netting (we saw him catching some fish). This was an Indian fish camp. For lunch we stopped at a picnic area provided by BC Hydro and were entertained by goats high on the mountain side. Later in the day while driving, Colin radioed us to say that he thought he might have miscalculated his fuel consumption and did we have a syphon hose so he could borrow some diesel (good thing we had the extra fuel tank, he had the syphon hose). We pulled over and he borrowed 20 liters of diesel. Ed the “Contingency Man” had come to the rescue twice in one day .... a record! The highway took us through Pemberton (way more built up then I expected) and the Whistler (even more built up) and finally Squamish where we stopped for the night.


"Bucking Ham Palace", Clinton BC



The church in Clinton


The Milepost guidebook indicated that this was the oldest general store in operation (in BC), and it had a post office as well as a good stopping/rest station. The sign at the road said "buses are welcome", so what happened?


A little further down the road from the "general store", while taking a photo of this valley, I wondered, where was a train when you needed one for the photo, as I was getting back into the truck, guess what I saw coming down the track? I will point out that if you look closely, you can see the far end of train, as well as part of it, inside a tunnel

While having lunch at the BC Hydro park, we saw these mountain goat high up on the near vertical walls of the rock face above us.


A lone goat demonstrating how is done. They make it look too easy.


Just after lunch, we came on another of many mountain lakes



There was this sign, back near the begining of the road that asked the question, "no fuel for xxx KM, check your levels". Perhaps Colin should have followed that sign's advice. Then, he would not have had to be sucking fuel from our aux. fuel tank.
