We had 4 great days in Vernon, the sunny Okanagan. It rained! and was cold (only 5 degrees when we got up in the morning). Nonetheless, we had a good visit with Barb's parents and also, Don and Andrea (Barb's brother and his wife who are very generous in letting us use their lovely home.)
We headed south to Vancouver and took the "back route". This is from Cache Creek where we headed slightly north and west and went through the mountains down to Pemberton, Whistler/Blackcomb (site of 2010 Olympics) and Squamish. It was a beatiful route, a little scary at times, because the road was under construction, with no barricades between the edge of the road and and drop off down to the valley many feet below! Parts of the route are very dry, barren hills and eventually we entered into the "rain forest" of the coast region. Always fun to run into a logging truck with verrrry large logs (maybe 6-8 per truck because they are so big)
