Canadian Rockies Trip
« on: August 05, 2014, 08:37:05 AM »
Got back home and unloaded about 11pm. 35 hrs from Columbia Falls, Mt to Taylorsville, NC, but worth every aching minute. One of the most scenic weeks I have ever spent on a scooter! First a few thanks.....Steve(stevo4204), for taking care of our stuff for the week. Your help gave us peace-of-mind knowing our truck would not be missing parts when we returned. Ride tips from Jim(Eqcons) & Mike(Grizzly) for sending us to places we would have otherwise missed. 8 days & 2870mi and a trip to remember for a lifetime. 1 day in Mt, 1 in Id, 2 in Alberta, 4 in British Columbia. Will post pics and give a little more detailed report in a couple days after I recover completely.

Had a great trip. No rain, lots of sun, who could ask for more. 6 days of the best Canadian rides ever!! Idaho & Montana were nice but shouldn't be compared. Only bad part of a day was from Salmon Arm, BC to Cache Creek, BC. 97 degrees, like riding in a blast furnace. Pulled into Cache Creek, got our room, unpacked and relaxed with a cool one before supper....BAM, the power goes off. Not just our motel, but the whole town. No food, gas or hot water. Came back on at 11pm.....nothing opened back up. Oh well, part of the adventure!!

I was looking forward to your pics......however, that link's not working for me.

Is that one of those things where you have to be a member to see photos?

Not working for me either... I'm getting a "Log In" page for Facebook.

Jimmy check the link to the page... that might be the problem. :nixweiss:

Great pics!

I have always thought that B.C. Rockies are certainly some of the best country in the world to see. Maybe next year....

         Thanks Jimmy great pic. I lived in 100 mile house just up the road from Cache creek my wife is from Kamloops to the east of Cache creek.   It's made me home sick. I'm glad you had a great and safe adventure in the B.C. Rockies :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21:
