4 days in and 649 km behind us. We've been treated to beautiful sunny weather which makes the spectacular BC scenery easy to enjoy. Day 2 up and over the Cascade Mountains was the first big climb. Had fun racing the semis, each of us in our lowest gear and working very very hard! Much of our company on the roads is logging trucks and we have passed lots of saw mills. Steve is compiling his list of questions for the logger he hopes to meet at the next truck stop.
We're feeling a little short on sleep, mostly through no fault of our own. Our first campground was on the shoulder of the Canadian Pacific railroad, the second 100m from a sawmill which sawed all night, the third back along side the railroad and last night we had rabbid dogs and thunder directly overhead.
We can see the Rockies ahead and this morning we set out to climb Roger's Pass. Stephanie is feeling a little scared ...
Next update should be from Calgary, Alberta on Saturday!

Yeeha guys! You’re making progress!! Hope some delicious sleep comes to you soon (but as I remember you both can do a lot even without it!). Best of luck on Roger’s pass…I read that it is the Trans-Canada Highway’s “crowning glory”. Is it so?
