Day 18 - August 22

We hightailed it out of our campsite and were on the road by 8.  We stopped in Kamloops for coffee and an update of the blog.  At lunch time we stopped at the place where they drove the last spike for the railroad.  It is named after a scottish town Craigellachie.  In 1985 they commemorated 100 years by building a cairn with a rock from each province and a rock from Craigellachie in Scotland.  It is really neat.  While we were there a train went by, so that was cool. We drove through Roger's Pass which we seem to recall from school.  The glacier picture below is in from there. We carried on driving until Golden, BC and are now in a nice park right in town beside the Kicking Horse River.  There is actually a triple set of railroad tracks right at the other side of the river and during the first hour of being here at least 3 trains have gone by.  It should be an interesting night!  There certainly is lots to keep our attention during waking hours.  We have now lost an hour because of the first time change.
