Home For th Weekend

Due to the fact that I am home, the daily blog will not be happening but will resume probably sunday night.

But I will now sum up the trip down to the lovely lower mainland :)

Our Trip began when we left rez at 8am yesterday morning and we stopped at a gas station for gas and some additional snacks. The drive started off slow, it was cold and frosty but not snowy and we were making good time and sometime between Quesnel and Williams Lake, Liz began to doze off while driving which is anything but safe, so we switched drivers, which is why i wasn't able to take as many photos as I would have liked too. And I drove from williams lake to the horseshow bay ferry terminal and back to my house and we only stopped in Hundred Mile and Chilliwack. And some interesting events occured on the trip. Event #1 we were driving and we were behind this big truck that was carrying some cement type of material. ANd pieces of it were falling off and smashing on the ground and it was making a huge mess on the windshield, and then all of a sudden a huge chunk falls off and a actually hit the breaks because the peices were big enough to do some damage and then I went over them and FINALLY we managed to pass this truck and we were worried when we pulled over in hundred mile to get gas that it was going to pass us and we would have to pass it again and right as we were pulling out of the gas station, we see the truck to a sped up, turning left back onto the highway to get ahead of that truck again.

There was also another incident when we were driving and there were these black blobs on the road and when we got closer we realized that they were some variety of duck like bird, 3 of them, walking in a line down the road, It was cute, they were walking against traffic in the passing lane. I hope they didnt get hit. Then eventually we in the Fraser Canyon and this truck with a trailer cuts us off right as the end of a passing lane, and we were pissed. but we'd get over it, until a while later when this truck was once again came up from behind us and i have no idea when we passed them, and they cut us off again, and now i was pissed, so at the next passing lane i tried to pass them, but i didnt want to cut them off so that failed and it wasnt until the next passing lane that we FLEW by them and got an extra car ahead of them. we were pleased.

Then a little further down the road we had to stop at a light, because traffic was only going one way and the truck was behind us and liz and i thought they might come and harass us or kill us so we thought locking the doors was a good idea, Morganne woke up as we were doing this and was upset to know that we were getting on the bad side of possible drug dealers.

when i looked out the rear view mirror, i saw them getting out of their car and I flipped shit, luckily the did not come near us.

The trip continued and we did it in about 8.5 hours but it ttok us longer because we took morganne to the ferry terminal.

we also saw a herd of big horn sheep on the trip which was cool



and because its traditon

Night!
