Canada

Our first experience with Canada was not a pleasant one. We were sustained over 2 1/2 hours at the border. They took our keys and inspected our trucks and then our RVs. They opened cupboards, drawers and even looked under our beds and in closets. We all passed eventually, but it was a trying experience. It took us that much longer to arrive at our intended destination. Once we got started, the scenery was awesome. 

Beautiful rock formations and blue, after bluer mountains.

There were areas of pure rock with no vegetation.

Lots of trees lining the highways with mountains in the distance.

The higher mountains had snow caps.

We had to go through several tunnels carved through the mountain. 

We followed rivers with long, long, long trains.

This was the view from our first campsite in Spencers Bridge, British Columbia. There were big trains passing every few minutes. I thought they would keep us awake during the night, but we were all so exhausted, we never heard them. 
In the valleys between the mountains we saw rich farmlands. This field was painted with dandilions.  They grow lots of fruit and vegetables.
