South for the Winter
December 16, 3PM - we hit the Road. I picked up Lyndsay at the school at 3:00, and we, along with a few other teachers, headed south for the winter - or at least for Christmas. We arrived in Burns Lake around 12:30 am for the night. Fortunately for us, the highway heading south was in great shape - dry and clear. While there were slippery sections, it wasn't nearly as icy as expected.
On our way into Burns lake, shorty after midnight, Lyndsay and I were pulled over. We were travelling around 70 km/h in a 60 zone. While I struggled to find my license among my credit and bank cards, he said "You were going a little bit over, but it looked like you weren't wearing your seatbelt". He asked us where we were going and where we were from, wished us a good trip, and let us go without even a warning. We really wern't doing anything wrong, so I am just glad he acknowledged it. We figured he was simply bored.
Basically the trip down to Abbotsford, Victoria, and ultimately Comox, went without a hitch. Weather was near perfect, road conditions were as good as could be expected this time of year, traffic and the car were both great. We couldn't have asked for a better trip... except maybe if it were a bit shorter - 20 hours in the car in 2 days isnt the best.
