July 31, Lac La Hache, BC to Anacortes, WA. 316 miles


The drive today was one of the most amazing and grueling days I have ever had of driving. The scenery was incredible but it was hard to appreciate sometimes with the sun reflecting off my white knuckles. The road from Cache Creek, BC to Hope, BC had everything; amazing scenery, one curve after another, steep grades both up and down, lots of tunnels, several narrow bridges, and more semi-trucks than I have seen in my life. It’s one of only a couple of roads to the interior of BC so naturally that’s where all the trucks have to be. In our opinion Canada has the most beautiful mountains that we have seen. We didn’t get to see a lot of Banff and Jasper National Parks in Alberta because of the low clouds but what we did see, along with driving through BC, it’s the best. My picture today doesn't do it justice. We are in Anacortes, Washington tonight and will stay here a couple of days and explore. Having trouble finding RV parks with space so going to have to start planning where we are going to be. Hate doing that but tonight and last night we had to work to get a place to stay. Tonight we are boondocking in a Casino parking lot as we couldn’t find a park with a spot open. Along the coast of Washington and Oregon we may have a tough time finding anything so may be doing more boondocking.
