Kootenay National Park


Amazing, we woke up to sunshine. Dropped all the plans for the day and took a drive. As usual, the mule deer were there to send us on our way and the sheep were in town, creating havoc for all drivers. Suppose to be sunny for the rest of the week. Ha!



In British Columbia, they provide animal crossings along the main roads. This involves miles of fencing to force the animals to cross either over or under the road. This will keep the animals safe and also the drivers. Ingenius idea and seems to work well.

Getting gas has become our next challenge. It is easy to find but many stations do not have card readers so we need to go inside, guess how much gas we need in liters and then the pump is started. So time-consuming.



Our other challenge is figuring out what signs are trying to tell us. There is no warning about upcoming pull-outs or rest areas. We aren’t exactly able to slow down rapidly since we are at 24,000 lbs. We have figured out that when we see a sign for the next rest area that means there is a rest area almost immediately.
