Day Five - Jun 13, 2000
Hinton, AB to Radium Hot Springs, BC
Daily Didactic
The sleeping bag seems to have taken it's toll on the early rising habits of our dynamic duo. Surfacing promptly at 10:00am, Brian gave the bus a little tune-up and Theresa planned the day's route. After our first shower in quite a few days (it's probably not right to call the sulfurous dip at Laird Hot Springs bathing), we were off to Hinton, Alberta for a little petrol. The cell phone (which had been out of range for all but a brief period in Dawson Creek) suddenly beeped and asked us if we wanted to check our voice mail. As we prepared to return the calls the phone rang and it was our good buddy Mike in Seattle. After a little chatting about how ready our accommodations would be when we finally got to Seattle, Brian returned the other calls and scheduled an phone interview for "wherever we happen to be" at 12:00pm next Monday. Gas tank full, we headed off for the scenic drive through Jasper and Banff National Parks. True to Brian's faltering memory, the drive was very scenic and littered with wildlife. Exiting through Kootenay National Park, we re-entered BC and settled in at the very cool Redstreak Provincial Campground in Radium Hot Springs at about 9:00pm.
