After an incredibly productive morning (I did laundry, went to the post office and still managed to be on the road by 10 a.m.) I pulled out my route map for the day and was a little disconcerted to find that the 300 miles I would be driving were covered in only 3 pages. The longer I drove, the more sense this made. Compared with the Alaska highway the route I had taken through Canada linked bustling metropolises - there really wasn't anything there except for fantastic scenery. However, I was still in Canada so there was nowhere to stop and record the view. Well, I did manage to get these shots:
There were stretches of the road where I was the only car, so I had plenty of opportunity to enjoy the view and take in what was going on around me. I saw a rig move in process just like on Ice Road Truckers, but without the ice road. I also got to drive through a thunder storm which made the landscape very dramatic and washed the accumulated dead bugs off of my windscreen. I actually got to use the wipers on double-speed which I had never done before.
