Victoria Day Journey

6/1/2010

0 Comments

 
On the Victoria Day weekend (sunday May 23), we set out for our excursion about 4:30 p.m.  I had to work until this point, so we couldn't leave until I was finished.

We went through the Fraser Valley past the turn off to Agassiz, and the Dino Park, as well as the Trans Canada waterslides.  We then got to the Coquihalla Highway, and just as we were going up near the foot of the highway, we saw a black bear walking along the side of the highway.  We continued on further up the highway, and ran into some snow on the sides of the road. The temperatures were not very warm, as there was a cold front that had gone through before we got to the Coquihalla area, which cooled things down significantly. At the Coquihalla Summit it was between 1 and 4 degrees celcius.

We stopped at the Britton Lakes Rest Area, formerly around where the toll booth was.  At this rest stop we came across some birds known as "brown headed cowbirds."  We continued further on, towards Kamloops on the look out for some more wildlife, but we were not able to see anymore that night.
