WERE GOING ON A BEAR HUNT (Were going to catch a big one!)

Above is the title to a book the children had when they were little. Yes!  we saw a bear! two actually, one just in a clearing past Banff, and another meandering along a track in the Rockies.
The last few weeks we`ve been back and forth to Vancouver, we also saw two moose (well dave did i was reading and not looking out of the window oops!)  We know the road so well now through the Rockies and the places to stay overnight and good walks for maddy.  Were flying home next week so don`t expect to travel too far as it might get difficullt to get a load back in time for our flight.  Maddy is booked into kennels just outside Calgary.  Dave will pick her up when he gets back so he will have some company.  I`m staying at home until sophie`s wedding in August so i can spend some time with them all.  I suspect dave will miss my cooking (probably all though!)
Each time we travelled through we stayed overnight at Kamloops, a large town overlooking a lake.
From Kamloops to Hope are the Coquihalla mountains.  We went on the Coquihalla highway, after the Rockies they were open and spread out, with the early morning sun they were magnificent, makes you feel on top of the world, which i suppose we were!  Some of our deliveries were in the city of Chilliwack, on the way to Vancouver, we would usually have our lunch there and fuel up.  Just before is Bridal Falls, we only passed it but could see why it was called Bridal Falls, on top of the mountain you could see the start of a waterfall, it just looked like a wedding veil.  There were alot of smaller waterfalls surrounding it along the mountain.  Definately a place to visit!
In the Rockies near Revelstoke is a spectacular hotel.  Its spread across the edge of a lake, its red roofed and looks quite Austrian.  Its a beautiful setting amidst the mountain backdrop, were hoping we can drive down and also stay there one weekend.          
Its sunday and were waiting for our assignment to come through, it will most probably be back to
British Columbia!
