Smoke and Smoke and Smoke

Smoke hangs over the cliffs of the Coqihalla River Canyon in Hope, British Columbia

After we left the Canadian Rockies, we headed south towards Vancouver. Tom wanted to put our den-on-wheels onto a big boat so we could visit Vancouver Island. But, British Columbia is a big place.
