We spent yesterday driving to Revelstoke or at least that's what we thought we were doing. About halfway there, a very nice BC roads man standing by a big closed gate told us that the passes were all closed due to avalanche.
So two hours later we had returned to Rossland and back up to the Shovel for me !!!!!
First thing this morning decided to go to Ainsworth Hot Springs on a revised route to Fernie. Having learnt from our experiences, we checked roads on internet first - alas the road to the Hot Springs was closed and when we called the resort to see if they had any other information there was also a distinct lack of electricity.
So we've now found a route via Nelson and then ferry that should have us in Fernie by Saturday. By the way did I mention that the direct route to Fernie was closed due to avalanche.
As the nice BC road man said " This is the country that we live in"
Hiya!! Glad you like the pic's of Paul's skiing - I bet the beard is helping! Paul Egan passed on your updates (and I've just learnt more from your blog). Looking forward to our crew being back together on the slopes at Red soon!! We've had a ball at Revelstoke. I've spent most of the time giggling down the slopes having just heard something funny from Paul Egan... as Paul McM buzzes bye us all...
ReplyDeletelots of love to you all, enjoy Fernie - oh, how was the Japanese???? xxxx
