Well there ya go. Give it a try. Be like a teen and drive 3 hours to go have coffee.

According to my friend the piece at Hoffman Bluffs has just been started, apart from that next to f**k all from Kamloops to Revelstoke. Price of gas here is $1.25 so I'm not going far for awhile.

I've been that way. Shiny new bridges were starte d 4 years ago and there is plenty of 4 already in place. Bridges are the hard part.

Anyhow it is really nice to see western Canada being finally built after a century of being ignored by Ottawa

The only other piece that comes to mind is a section around Cambie that was built about 20 years ago, that would be 10 km east of Sicamous.

B.C. Highway Cams

Lots of current pictures of B.C. highways for you to look at.

It goes 10X that right now. CGY to Van is now 10.5 hrs instead of 12hrs

10.5 far far safer hours.

I like Montana. Lots of freedom and the people are exceptional.

My first experience in Montana was drinking beer in Eureka one Sunday. Went down there with friends from Cranbrook about 46 years ago. One of the guys was pissed when we went down and when we got to the border the agent asked us if he'd been drinking. He said if we admitted he'd been drinking he wouldn't let us cross. We said we wouldn't admit to that and he waved us through:) :) After we were there for some time the guy disappeared so a couple of us went out looking for him. After awhile we found he had fallen into an open excavation!! In those days the Rooseville crossing closed at 6 P.M. so we high tailed it back there and made it with about 2 minutes to spare. Of course there was a line up at the crossing as in those days there was no place to drink beer in Canada on Sunday.

It all depends on what you want to do while you are there. You can't go far wrong with Oregon any time of year, Washington is also very nice and varied. W.T.F. is a 420 safe zone?

4-20 is one of many terms for the culture of smoking/eating weed!big business!
fernie has excellent growers of weed,Kimberley is just in the process of implementing a medicinal marijuana dispensary.
colorado and alaska have free 4-20 zones.
