Day 1 & 2 of Spam & GNR Here we come!

The start of our six week trek across Western Canada began on June 16,2014. 
After spending the day organizing and packing the Navion we finally left about 3:30 PM. We stopped at the bank and pet food store for money and food for Henry. We hit the #1 trans-Canada highway at 4:00. Our first stop was the rest area just before Hope, BC where I had to have a nap (being up at 4:00 AM to see Dale off to work!). We got to Merritt, BC around 8:30 PM, stopped at MacDonald's for dinner and continued on up the Coquihalla about 9:30. By this time it was dark and raining and I was nervous about driving on a road I didn’t know. We finally decided to pull off at about 11:00PM at one of the snow chain stops and spend the night there.
The next day we left at about 7:30 and headed into Kelowna - it took about 10 minutes! Little did I know I could have finished the trip the night before.
We stopped for gas and groceries and headed up the road to Holiday Park Resort to start our 5 day outing with the Fraser Valley Explorers.

We set up into site #510 on Sweet Life Drive!
We spent some time exploring the resort and had a bit of a swim. Dinner was BBQ. Salmon and Chicken for Kasey, garlic mashed potatoes and salad. The Lego movie was the evening's entertainment.
