Yesterday was quite the experience. We passed by Lake Shuswap. Very pretty but no pictures as the camera wasn't cooperating.
The above pictures are near Kamloops. It is very desert like.
At Kamloops the day got very interesting. A huge steep hill leads to Highway 5. We decided to take this road as it was 4 lanes. Didn't realize how mountainous it was. Going up the first hill triggered the check engine light on the truck. As it turns out there are very few access points to the road. We had to travel about about 20 kms to get off to cool off the truck. Still had the check engine light. We continued up and down hanging off the edge of mountains trying not to look. At certain points we were up 4000 feet. Finally we reached Hope and not a moment too soon.
Not having eaten all day, we did a quick set up and went for a meal. Skinny's Grill - very good.
Got back into the truck and thankfully the check engine light had gone out. Yeah. So the day ended on a positive note.
