Canadian West Coast

[Rollin Ollen]

I have to name this "Where were you with your Jayco today". Sorry to jump in but.... We are traveling to the Canadian West Coast. The forests are on fire and the smoke is so thick it stings our eyes. If you have ever driven the Coquihalla you will know there are some long, steep grades. A fellow coach owner almost made it to the top of one but sadly, didn't make it. The coach caught fire and started another forest fir. We were about 15 minutes behind. Photo one is what was left taken by us. Photo two was copied from a local newspaper. We are in Merritt British Columbia for the night.

We're sort'a on our way to Manning Provincial Park for a few nights then on to Coalmont and 4 wheeling at Whipsaw near Princeton and then Hedley to explore the old Nickle Plate mine, until Hwy 3 was closed because of the fires just east of Hope BC which is where we sit at a diesel card lock truck stop working on plan "B"

I'm not sure if you have planed another route but, from Hope Rt 5 to Merritt then 5A to Princeton is still doable. Good luck and drive safe.
