I kissed my newlywed bride, Margaret, farewell this morning at 8:15 am. This is our 14th wedding 
anniversary.
I started my trip by going east to Hope, and then head north on Hwy 5 in BC.
It was interesting once I passed Hope (not beyond hope!), because I entered the mountain ranges.
Coquilhalla highway
Going north on the Coquilhalla highway at the summit, there was still snow on the road side. Five days ago, it actually snowed a few mm of snow on the summit. So, within a few hours, I was traveling from Vancouver at sea level to 1,475 m elevation at the summit.
