Day 10 - May 23rd
We woke up to a beautiful sunny day along with 50 construction workers. Very sore loading the van. The plan was to take the next two days to drive to Banff. Tonight's destination was Cache Creek. Leaving Whistler we saw a bear in the distance about 500 m away walking across on of the grassy ski runs. We had to stop for supplies, and of course booze. $37 for a bottle of J.D. Wow. Again the drive was very scenic and we stopped a few times to admire the views. At one stage we saw a pile of cars on the side of the road. We pulled up and there was a bear on the other side of a river about 50 meters away. By the time we all piled out of the van the bear had disappeared back into the woods.
We stopped at this nice blue/green lake near a hydroelectric power station. We then headed for Cache Creek. Stopped at the dairy queen to enjoy an ice cream, yum. We chilled at the campground, played basket ball and polished our skills at frisby. We only injured 3 people. Martin took a spill on the gravel, Andrea got a fat lip and we hit Jess in the back of the head with the frisby. Then we played a bastardised version of baseball until it got dark.
Back to Canadian Parks West Page or on to Day 11.
