    Chrome, I agree with the idea of traveling in the fall and spring - I like winter too. Summer can suck, especially in southern Nevada. So I can build up a huge electric bill have the air conditioning on day and night or get the hell out and go to the ocean in Oregon or Washington hoping for no fires there.. You are very flexible and with your awesome attitude, things have a way of working out!

    It's so interesting watching this cause I was literally travelling through Cache Creek on the 22nd and you were there 1 day later. Yea, that spot that looks like a salty lake that's all dried up, it's pretty much always like that in the summer. A couple times in my life I've seen it with water in it but not many. I've taken that route to my family cabin in the cariboo a few hundred times at this point in my life, lol.

    The summers in BC are so sad now. We live in the Lower Mainland and It seems every year the fires are getting worse. Sometimes the smoke does reach us and can be hazy for a few days. We don’t really go anywhere on holidays now because of it. I enjoyed seeing Green Lake as that’s a place we always went when I was young. Haven’t been there for a few years now. I always found it was too cold to swim in haha! Be safe on your travels!

    Happy to see you have come through our area. There are a lot of beautiful places to camp along Green Lake if you took a back road at 70 Mile House. You would have had an epic time seeing how beautiful the lake really is. Lots of places to camp by the lake with fantastic candy beaches. Hopefully you will stop in on your way when you head south on your way home. Happy trails the Cariboo is a beautiful area to visit..Hwy 24 is also a beautiful drive on the Fishing Hwy...many many lakes...have an adventurous holiday and drive safe.❤

    Stick a window AC in one of your back windows. A 5000 btu unit will pull a max of 450 watts when the compressor is on. If you buy one that has a digital thermostat it will maintain temp and run very efficiently in eco mode. It's a $200 fix and your 400ah batteries can easily run that all night. They even come in Black to match your van!!!

    Most of western Canada is affected by the smoke even Saskatchewan. Best to stay at home to not add a burden to others. I heard many tourists were stranded in Jasper and some had to head towards Kamloops to get back around to Calgary. The new norm lately is smoke in June-Aug... Do trips in spring/fall/winter.

    HEY Chrome ?? !! Hey !Goodlioking ?!! Honey when you go in the store and tell him you want to put $100 in and they run your card put a hold on for $100 then if you only get $60 worth of gas the system automatically just charges you for $60 and let’s go of that $100 hold. That’s the way it is here in USA. Love you love your shower I’ve been with you for years coming to see you soon in Canada.❤️.

    The fires in BC got an early start this year, we had to re-route back in May to avoid fires in Ft Nelson - it's mostly clear once you get up to Whitehorse, but that's a crap drive in smoke. We'll be driving back down through it in Sept and I'm already dreading it

    That lake was awesome and I sure would have been finding away to stay there 😅. Sad about the fires 🔥 😢 I hate to see our beautiful mountains ⛰️ burn every year, prayers for all of the people that had to evacuate . Head north to cooler weather. We also camp early in the spring and layer in the fall more enjoyable to have a campfire at night and hiking without sweating 😓. Smooches for Cruzie 💋 🐾 🦴 hope you find a cool shade tree 🌳 and more cool places to swim Cruzie🐾🐾 ✌️✌️😎

    Beautiful shots, as usual. 📷🌅 We had some terrible Smokey days here last summer. Grateful that we’ve been good so far this summer. Even with the heat we’re getting.
