We stopped in Whistler briefly to refuel and this coincided with the lighting of the Olympic flame in London. They showed the event on big tv screens; Whistler hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics and has long term reminders of the event including the Olympic village with some impressive Olympic rings!
The magnificent Sea to sky highway brought us from Vancouver to Bowron; it passes through Indian reserves where we have driven for over 200km seeing no towns of people just stunning mountain backdrops.
We were treated to the most spectacular thunderstorm last night, which silhouetted the mountains as we drove into the night....16 hours travelling yesterday and another 6 to go. The sheer size of the landscape is humbling.
We slept in a layby by a lake then hit the road early, now on the Cariboo highway passing ranches and wildlife. No cariboos yet!
