Long weekend. Camping and fly fishing in a Provincial Park, about 2 hours east of Vancouver – Andrew, Didier and myself were up for the fishg, and Sebastian and Kerstin were coming along to do a massive Hike.
On the road – Saturday morning. 5 of us in Andrews Trusty Ford Escort Wagon… Fully Loaded!
Silver Lake. Gorgeous!…. This is BC.
