This morning I left the house around 6:45am and made my way into Portland to pick up Adam, a super cool hippie guy who was on his way up to Juneau to work on a farm. I was a little skeptical at first sharing the ride with a complete stranger but we made a point to meet up twice before the trip to dismiss any feelings of "creepyness". My gut was telling me that Adam was a safe bet but I brought some pepper spray along just in case (sorry Adam...).
The day started off rainy and wet but I didn't really care - I'd driven through Washington several times and already knew the scenery. We logged about 500 miles today where we met sunshine passing over the Canadian border late in the afternoon. I'd known that British Columbia had a lot of mountains but what I didn't know is that there's also a lot of desert. We camped at a rest area along the highway (can you believe that it's LEGAL to pull over and camp ANYWHERE?) where we were greeted with a guy and his parrot. Our first wildlife of the trip! Not exactly what I was expecting to see but it was cool none the less... Margaret's first day on the road and she was a champ! No issues to report (so far).
