Canada (Vancouver, British Columbia)

We left Glacier and headed to Fairmont Hot Springs, BC. It was so warm we decided not to utilize the springs. Then we drove to a campground near Kamloops, B C. It was a provincial park on the Thompson River. We had a nice view of the river. However, the trains full of coal, etc. were running constantly near the campground. I met a fellow camper from Germany. He works for Mercedes so was excited to see our motorhome. We then decided to drive the scenic route via Whistler, BC on our way to Vancouver. It was scenic to say the least. Lots of mountains and lakes. However, we had to deal with lots of steep grades. I had never driven on one more than 10% so when I saw the 15% sign I thought I was driving straight down. Lots of downshifting. We are in Vancouver right now and plan on a day long your of the city. Then back to the USA tomorrow. So far we have put over 2000 miles on the trip. Fuel is a bit expensive in Canada.
