Only 283 miles today. It was a short drive with a lot of sitting in the car waiting.
Started the day with the fabulous free continental breakfast at the hotel. Got packed up and we were on the road before 9am. At 12:45pm, we were detoured away from I-5. Apparently, the one and only day I want to get into Canada, the I-5 border crossing is closed from 11-3:30 for some event. So we got to hang out and creep along a detour to a border crossing somewhere else (on Washington highway 543, I think).
Drove up 15 (highway, parkway, not sure what they call it here) to hit Highway 1. Passed thru a town called Chilliwack. Awesome! Had dinner at a mom & pop restaurant called Skinny's Grille. Good food. We stopped early 5-ish in Hope, British Columbia. The guide book says the next 120 miles are the most beautiful on the Alaska Highway. I'll let you know if I agree tomorrow.
Take care!
