Went through Customs with no problem, Thanks Canada for letting us through and God Bless the USA!!!
One more to go.
And before we crossed the border, they just had to remind us of all the construction that we went through just to have a chance to go to Alaska. WHAT A TRIP!!!
We're behind that little truck.
And here we are. We hurried through Canada cause we had no phone and no internet. Can't have that, we're spoiled.
Almost there.
Looks like the border towns have got a lot of farming.
It looks like we're getting closer. 
The highways from Prince George to the border were good highways. Not a lot of construction in this area. 
Here we are at Hope, Hoping to get to the states in about an hour, maybe.
Here is one of the first tunnels. I don't know how many tunnels we went through but I think there were probably more than six. They were pretty long too.
There goes the train again.
We stopped and I counted all my Canadian money that I had cause I didn't want to bring any back to the states with me. I had $79.97 so we got that in diesel and then finished filling up with plastic. Last time I had gone to Canada I brought some money back and I had it for about 4 years so I looked for it and found it and I don't think I have a single penny now.
I guess Tommy is amazed at what he is seeing.
Totally Awesome.
I think those mountains in the background had snow.
And again the train catches up with us. Notice the water, it looks a different color.
Lots of winding roads. Got to make all those curves around the mountain.
And there comes the train again.
All of this is the same water but yet as you make a turn or something, it looks like you're at a totally different place but its all just going down the road.
It's just amazing how you can go up and down the hills, the mountains and canyons, its just unreal.
We're fixing to go down the hill a little.
And again the terrain is kind of different.
And into the next one.
And there he goes inside the tunnel.
These were tunnels where the train went through.
This looks like a different scene from the picture below and above but the terrain just seemed to be different at different places.
This train was pretty long. Isn't this just a beautiful site?
The highway goes for miles around the mountains as does the train tracks. We kept seeing the train come out along side us when we thought we had left it behind.
Beautiful scene.
Tracks of the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific railways wind through the Fraser River Canyon. The Fraser River and canyon were named after Simon Fraser (1776-1862), the first white man to descend the river in 1808. This is the dry forest region of British Columbia, and it can be a hot drive in summer. The scenic Fraser Canyon travelers drive through today was a formidable obstacle for railroad engineers in 1881.
This river went along the highway for miles.
There were colorful fields and green fields in the middle of it all. Some of the hills went as far as you could see.
It was beautiful. Not too many trees growing in the hills.
I was just amazed at the difference. It was awesome but it just didn't go with what we'd been seeing and I just never expected this drastic change from the mountains.
It really did seem like you were in the middle of the desert somewhere.
This area was quite different than what we had been seeing. I don't know if these hills could be considered mountains or just desert-like hills. Some of them hills were pretty huge. The climate in this area is characterized as semi-desert, with hot, dry summers and cold, dry winters.

We had stayed in a pull out just outside of Clinton so in the morning when we got up we noticed that we had had company. I guess they were going to start some construction along the area where we had stayed cuz there were construction cones and flags all over so we hurried so we could get out of there before the construction started. We went up the road and saw this sign welcoming us to Clinton. I wonder if they named this little town after Bill Clinton? Clinton is rich in history with intriguing western heritage. Originally the site of 47 Mile Roadhouse, a gold-rush settlement on the Cariboo Waggon Road. Today Clinton is called the "great ranch capital of British Columbia."
