I am now in the library in Squamish..
Back to Tuesday morning woke up again to sunny skies after a great sleep and was on the road by 9am, saw some beautiful scenery on my way to Lytton.
Just outside of Lytton found the Cisco Bridges where the trains can turn around.
These next photos are of the Lytton Ferry, well worth a Google search. It is a free 5 minute ferry on a cable/pulley type of vessel. I must admit I have never been on anything quite like this.
These few photos were of a ranch I passed and the man invited me in to view his place….he was very friendly but I think his views were way over the HILL!!!
Another great vista!!
My next stop was Lillooet and the Old Bridge.
I then took the windy and steep road to Pemberton and here are some views…
This is the very rarely photographed lesser spotted white chested mountain warbler!!!!!
The next hike..
Who would have thought I would be hiking in the white stuff!!!!!
Ladies…. I know it is very hard for you but drag your eyes away from the incredible buff and tight leg to see the snow!!!!!!!
Now nearly at Whistler and my last hike of the day.
Sorry this photo was a bit blurry…
The trail was an easy one and the water falls were spectacular…I stopped and listened to the pounding and thundering noise… was quite special.
A few miles before Whistler I found this new building development and thought it would make a good place to spend the night.
I know I say it often but another great day and I even got to speak to Sara on Skype..she is getting excited she comes home on Friday!!!!
It is now Wednesday morning and I had a great sleep I have been lucky to find wonderful places to stop for the night…quiet, great views and no charge!!!
I decided not to stop at Whistler this morning and just outside the village on a safe two lane highway where I was able to pull over and stop safely I had a great thrill…….
This bear was not frightened and continued to chew grass the whole time. He does appear to have two ear tags…the last bear I saw was on the way back from Gold River a couple of weeks ago when I was too slow, or the bear was too fast, for me to get to my camera….so this sighting was a stunning sight for me!!!
This highway from Whistler to Vancouver has undergone incredible road improvements for the Winter Olympics and this is one of the approaches to the town of Squamish..
There are two Provincial parks I want to stop at later today and I hope to be on one the late afternoon ferries back to Nanaimo…..will post again tonight….I am still on a high over that bear!!!!!
