We left Clinton this morning and headed down towards Whistler, driving in and out of rain.  We stopped at a lovely roadside campground where some guys were fishing.  Upon taking with them they indicated that a "wedding band" was the hot lure for catching fish there. 


Traveling down the road we went over a slight hill to be confronted by a herd of horses in the roadway. 

Just some of the numerous waterfalls we saw today. Beautiful and wet country on the west side of the mountains.

Winter is still occurring in the upper hills of British Columbia

We arrived at Whistler and while I took a nap Shirl assisted the local economy and arrived back with a wonderful Father's Day gift for me.  A nice shinny "wedding band" fishing lure.  


Upon leaving Whistler we drove by a roadside sign stating "watch for bears".  We went about 500 yards and saw two bears along side the roadway.  Makes you wonder if they were trained!!


We are spending the evening in Sqamish and plan to arrive back home tomorrow evening after a short stop in Vancouver to visit an old ham radio buddy who has gone on many foreign radio contest trips with me for many years.


Good Night,


Shirley and Roger
