BC 99 North, Sea-to-Sky Highway, North Vancouver To Squamish

They like climbing and I like taking pictures . . . works out well for all of us.

Today we tried to drive up to Prince George but we made way too many stops to actually get anywhere and then our GPS informed us that we would be in Prince George at 10:20PM and I thought that might be late to look for a hotel . . . although it may still be light out here. So tonight we stopped in Williams Lake, BC.
We met some great people along the way. I spoke with Alma and Jenna and they told us to go to Lake Joffrey and the birds would come right over and land on us if we put a piece of bread on our heads and walked around the lake. Sooooooo we go to the lake and people are around hiking and taking pictures but nobody is feeding any birds because there are no birds around. I'm thinking that we know a local secret so I get out the bread and PUT IT ON OUR HEADS!!! We walked around with people looking at us strangely and not viewing a single bird. When people would ask . . . we would inform them that the Wiskey Jacks are going to swoop out of the sky and eat the bread and land on our heads without hurting us. Well that never happened and I now believe that Alma and Jenna are sitting somewhere in Pemberton laughing . . . because they got another car full of Californians to walk the lake with bread on their heads. Cole started looking for the web cam . . . we're probably on some Canadian website.

If you're looking for a beautiful scenic drive that you must take . . . don't actually drive to Canada, I recommend flying to Vancouver and driving BC 99 North, Sea-to-Sky Highway . . . It's difficult to drive because you want to be looking around and taking pictures instead of looking at the road. I just googled the Sea-to-Sky Highway and lucky for you someone videotaped the whole drive . . . it takes a long time to load but it's a lot less time than driving up here . . . and his camera is actually pointed at the road not around to the left at the blueish green lake and scenery . . . but again it's still better than having to drive all the way up here. Nancy and Lucielle thank you for the tip on going to Pemberton . . . we loved it there.
