| Probably, we'll take the blue route |
Admittedly the plans have evolved. From hiking the PCT, to bike touring, and now to camping around the country, but the adventure continues. And it continues to evolve for the better!!! (Are there really enough exclamation points to convey the excitement??!!!) Living, and traveling 24/7 with S.D. gets better every day as do the adventures.
Leaving Oregon we drove North up the coast through Washington. Stopping along the way to visit friends and eat seafood, enough seafood and oysters to make up for the last six months deficit. The plan is to be at the Canadian border by June 1. Explore British Columbia and the Yukon and arrive at Tok, Alaska by July 11. July, August and into September we'll be volunteering at the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge four days a week and exploring other parts of Alaska on our days off. Come September it's a quick descent south. Winter comes quickly up there and we'll need to get to warmer climates!
Yesterday we were talking about traveling around the country with a friend. She pointed out that it's the lifestyle that attracts her. Yes, she wants to see all these great places, but it's being on the road, living like a nomad, that really feels right. I gotta agree. This morning we're up early. After three days in Seattle it's time to get back on that road!

Hi guys, Sitting in the Vancouver airport waiting to fly home. Some input about Vancouver.
Very clean city. Very walkable. Lots of bicycles. Seems to be full of younger folks, no issue there. We stayed at a place called The Burrard. Nice spot which was central to everything.
The only special things were the Granville Island market and the fantastic smoked salmon candy...not really candy, but really smoked salmon with a sweet coating. Stanley Park is really cool. We got bikes from the hotel and rode the path that goes around it. The Gastown section is neat, but just about 5 blocks. The Yaletown section is full of restaurants, but we didn't hit any. Did hit The White Spot which is a chain and really good. The road up to Whistler was good, but it was raining like stink and it would have probably been a whole lot better in nice weather. Stopped in Squamish, which was a good place to walk around the main street for an hour. NB!!!! There is only one gas station in Whistler and it's on the way into town on the left. Husky, I think. Whistler is a weird place, kind of like Hilton Head....all planned community.
So have a great time and it's great seeing your progress.
