Over the years I have had many great rides, but I have never had a day where the scenery was as spectacular from beginning to end as today. I don’t believe there was a time during the entire ride that we were not at a spot that was photo worthy. I have come to the conclusion that we should trade California for British Columbia. I was originally thinking about trading California for the entire country of Canada, but that would not be fair to the Canadians, and the French Canadians don’t even want to be part of Canada so I’m sure they would not want to be Part of the United States. The British Columbians would no longer need to post everything in English and French, but could keep the metric system at least for driving. As a matter of fact I thing we should convert the entire US to KPH rather than MPH. There is something really cool about looking at you speedometer and having it read 125. They would have to change the name of their two dollar coin though. Coins should have noble names, not be called loonies. Lastly, the Canadians could have the wisdom and experience of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
We did encounter a few of those mountain showers, but overall the weather was very comfortable. I would much rather ride in cooler rather than hotter conditions. After all, you can always add another layer, but you can only remove so many layers legally. And even if it were legal to remove all layers, I’m not sure the sight of me on a motorcycle in the buff would not create the same reaction that Godzilla used to create.
We did manage to visit four Canadian National Parks including Revelstoke which is the coolest name ever for a park. Tigger is thinking of naming the hundred acre wood after this park.

Boy, it's good to see you posting again. Thought there must be a Molson National Park in Canada, and you intentionally got lost there. Or maybe an Amazon size female lumberjack grabbed you up there in the North Woods, and wouldn't let you go.
Glad you are having a great time in BC. I will have to pull out your route map and see when and where you will be coming back into the US of A. Can bet Yellowstone is soon on your plan.
Happy Trails

I bet the done run him out, I bet they did. Git out, they sez ... an' don'tcha come back no more no more ... watchoo say? Hit the road, Dick.
Leave only footprints, take only pictures, which is Canadian for bacon.
Yellerstone is a big big big place.

Oh Dick now did you have to make us think of a visual of you on the motorcyle in the buff?
You should have buffed while riding in Canada 'eh' you know how they walk down our beaches in their t-backs and Speedos with their big old beer bellies 'eh'.
Are you retired? If not after that visual you better cuz you ain't gonna have any bussiness after this thought. I do believe they have a club where seniors ride in the buff. I think it's what hippies from the 60's looked like now. Now that's funny! Hang in their buddy.
