Today we slept in. Then we packed up, left the campground and hit the road. We did school work during the trip. We stopped at the Californy for lunch and got gas. The we did more school work and more driving, but we finally got to the town where we are staying. The only thing left to do was climb the mountain. “Drivers, start your engines!” Vvvrrooom! Vvrrooom! Beep! “And They’re Off!” LOL. It was a mixture of the Cabot Trail (see September 20th Journal Entry) and the BC Mountains (see March ?, Journal Entry). We were about 3500 ft up and there is no railing! Straight down, all the way! My stomach flipped every time we drove around a corner! It was practically a roller coaster, well except for the no-flips- (unless you count my stomach) and no tracks (unless you count the animal tracks on the road) oh and no shooting off (unless you count Dad pinning it after every corner. So when we finally got to the campground, which is thousands of feet above sea level, we parked and walked around for a bit. There are 850 sites, almost as big as the Disney World campground. Mom and Dad went for another walk and when they came back mom said they she saw a raccoon and it was the size of our bathtub (3’1” X 1’ 7”- I measured). Ok, either her eyes are going of the altitude is getting to her! We then ate supper and I phoned Brandon. A 3 ft long raccoon…seriously!!!!

I think that your kids should write their experiences and views more often. Great job Ryley. It is really interesting hearing things from your prospective.
