Leaving our family, Vancouver and Western Canoeing and Kayaking and Clipper Canoes this morning. We made great memories. We are on the road at this time. We finally decided to rent a UHaul so we could skip the too strong current of the Fraser, Thompson & Columbia River and save Jen's knee. We are on our way to Lethbridge (AB).

We wanted to paddle on the Fraser, Thompson & Colombia rivers (and portage a lot along the way), but the water level and current at this time is stronger than it was suppose to be. There was no winter water this year. Also, Jen knees still a problem so a long portage on the road is now out of the options. If you know someone that is planning to ride from Vancouver (or ne
