Well as I said yesterday, the Lethbridge Viaduct is a sight to behold, and it is. I don't know whether it is cooler that the bridge is almost 100 years old, or just that it is sooooooo big.
After leaving Lethbridge and climbing ever so slightly , we happened along Pincher Creek and probably our best, first look at the foothills
Lunch was in Fernie, and I gotta tell you, they take their trucks very seriously here. I have never seen so many 3/4 and 1 ton diesel pickups in my life. And not old pieces of sh-t either. We are talking about nice equipment here.
From Fernie it was onwards and upwards (really) to our evening destination of Golden. Along the way we passed Columbia lake - the head waters of the mighty Columbia river and home to some of the worlds rarest wildlife - the grizzzly bear, the big horn sheep, the Osprey
the north Cavan cougar
Just outside of Golden, we stopped at a rest area to try and un-square out butts, when we discovered what appeared to be an abandoned cabin. A little investigating shows why it was abandoned. The stream nearby evidently flooded and washed gravel over the banks almost completely covering two sides of the cabin including the door.
Oh well, as they say in real estate......location, location, location. From the rest stop into Golden was only a short drive, so it was out to supper at Apostles for some Greek salad, and back to the room for some well deserved rest. Tomorrow is Kelowna and the Okanagan Valley, so stay tuned.

I think I posted my comment on the Sudbury Wawa section of the trip. I do not think Sudbury/Wawa is "ahhh ski country"....oh well I think I've figured your blog out now.
Happy Trails!
Love Andrea
