Day 6 – 8/7 Calgary, AB to Hope, BC
Calgary, Alberta to Hope, British Columbia 517 miles What a day. I woke up after a wonderful night’s sleep and made the decision not to go back into Calgary. I had really enjoyed the city, but Vancouver was calling. The GPS said I had about a 10½-hour drive ahead of me. My plan was perfectly…
Day 2 – 8/3 Vienna, OH to Menomonie, WI
The first morning of a long road trip always feels different. Yesterday was about leaving home. Today, it finally felt like I was crossing America.

Day 10 – 8/11 Olympia, WA to Newport, OR
After getting on the road, I drove straight to Olympia—the capital of Washington State—just to walk around. I took a few photos, then headed toward Portland, OR, and stopped at a wildlife refuge on the way that promised wildlife viewing. It probably does, but it doesn’t allow dogs on the trail, so… we walked around…
