Road trip to Canada

Well, Parker and I need to take another road trip in about ten days. I have some work to do in Vancouver, BC, Saskatoon and Medicine Hat so we're going to road trip it to Canada in the Camaro. Parker hasn't had a road trip in a while and has expressed interest in hitting his 35th state before his 5th birthday. Here he is enjoying some Wyoming last summer.


Beginning June 3, we'll be hitting Boise, ID, Vancouver BC, Kelowna, Saskatoon, Medicine Hat, Kalispell MT, SLC and home. (And if there are any f'in burglars reading this, I've got a house sitter.) I've wanted to see the Canadian Rockies for a long time so this is a great opportunity to combine some work and fun. We'll be doing about 4500 miles in 8 days.

I am super envious!

Hopefully the weather cooperates.

Hope you have a great trip to Canada. If you have time in Vancouver a cruise up to Whistler is well worth it.

Tell Parker to trim his F**king nails, or he's not getting in the car. Lol. And if he sheds, he better learn how to vacuum.

Finished up the road trip with Parker. Ended up being 4581 miles in 8 days. Parker was a bit annoyed by the end of the trip.

Got to eat at a Taco Time in Boise. We don't have any in Phoenix and I crave their food. This was a Ghost Pepper Chicken Burrito


We were able to check out McNary Dam on the OR/WA line


And this nice looking bridge that took us into Vancouver


Loved the look of this tilted slab of rock in the Canadian Rockies


Unfortunately, with mapping and construction the Camaro found about 20 miles of dirt and gravel roads. Ugh.


And this cool wood-surface bridge


We made it to Glacier National Park, but the Road to the Sun was not yet open for the season


A nice shot of the Camaro, though it was dirty from dirt roads and covered in bug splatter


Parker loves his waterfalls


One more gratuitous Camaro shot


And finally, thanks to a friend, we got to check out a flight simulator!

Hey how come Parker didn't take a pic of you in the Camaro like you did of him? I think he's freeloading!
