Today was a big deal for us. We finally crossed the border into Canada to start our Alaska trek. We got a late start from the KOA in Burlington and headed North to Sumas WA for the border crossing. The crossing was no big deal and we were asked very few questions. Only a few miles North of the crossing was Canada Hyw 1. The highway was 4-lane, divided, limited access and made for easy driving. It was lunch time after crossing the border and very soon we came to Chilliwack where Donna’s phone search turned up a Mooyah Burger joint. Mooyah is one of our favorites in McKinney. The restaurant had a large gravel lot next to it so we had a place for the big rig. After a delicious lunch we continued on to Hope. The GPS wanted be to continue on Hwy 5 and my research had suggested Hwy 1. We stopped in Hope to reconsider our path and since Hwy 5 looked like the easier drive we chose to aim for Kamloops 2 ½ hours away. The Hwy 5 drive was beautiful with mountain views and was a 120 km/hr or 75 mph big highway that was easy with the big rig. Once in Kamloops we looked for an RV park and headed for the closest park. Silver Sage is situated right on the large, swift South Thompson river. Not a fancy park but nice. They had room for us in a long back-in spot with a river view right out our windshield. The park only had water and 30A electric which we understand is pretty typical. We really only need 50A when it is very cold or very hot to run both Heat Pumps or multiple heaters so that is no big deal. They have a dump for our holding tanks so the only real downside is no laundry. Its not a good idea to try to run laundry using only the holding tank. Our entire route today was 224 miles and about as long as we care for in a day. We will probably travel about the same distance on average through Canada. The weather today was intermittent rain and Kamloops is about 54 deg F with rain possible. We are so excited to be across the border and on our way!
