Hi friends, I am back from my recent travels to visit elderly relatives. We started our journey at 5 a.m. on Thursday, May 10, 2012. About 75 minutes later we came upon the scene in the photo below. I felt it was a symbol that we would have a nice trip. Entering Kamloops, BC where I visit my mother. About one hour north of Kamloops and we are well on our way up the Yellowhead Highway. You can see the outline of our journey on the map below. Our northward journey took us north east from Vancouver to Kamloops on Highways 1 and 5. We continued along the route shown by the upper purple coloured line which is primarily along the Yellowhead Highway. The route went through Kamloops, Barriere, Blue River, Valemont and on to Mount Robson at Jasper. We continued through to Hinton where we stopped for dinner. After a delicious dinner of calamari and caesar salad at L & W's, we drove on Highway 16 east to Edmonton and spent the night in St. Albert,
