After a chiropractor appointment and transferring items from the trailer and attaching the boat, we were off to the cottage.

New driver for the last leg of our trip & happy passengers

With me driving the Expedition pulling the boat, kids and dog, Brody my co-pilot.  Scott rode his motorbike, he had a couple of stops and met up with us at Finn Creek for lunch.

Kids played in the cold river, Brody again moving rocks to divert the water.  One last time change shortly after crossing the B.C. border, our 10th province.

Ready for last part of our trip

We saw mountain sheep as we came into Golden for a fuel stop.  Scott's bike took less than $20, quite a bit less than the expedition.

Beautiful Rocky Mountains

As we have seen and stopped at most of the B.C. sites, we cruised right passed Revelstoke train museum, Three Valley Gap, The Enchanted Forest, Crazy Creek, Craigellachie Last Spike, and Sicamous.  Scott passed us and went ahead to Salmon Arm to pick up a boat battery.  As a light rain started we made a quick stop to pick up pizza's at Boston Pizza.

Next stop was the Shell at Blind Bay for boat fuel and a few groceries.  Scott passed us again and went straight to the cottage.  Arrived in the rain at 7:30 pm, now 6:30 pm due to our last time change, after an 8 hour drive.
