When I lived in Vancouver I had Nokians on steelies for my Volvo, as I drove up to the Okanagan a lot over the Coquihalla. Everyone down there was surprised that I'd swap over to winters. Then I'd pass those people in their BMW's and Audi's piled into the snowbanks, so I guess I got the last laugh
Speaking of lack of lines, Coming out of Jasper park towards Hinton there are no lines on the highway at all, and there are even signs that say "no lines on roadway". Someone figured it would be better to put up a sign than actually putting lines down. |

^ No sign of any construction when we went through late last week. You know how silly things can get when huge long lines of backed-up traffic break out of the park and hit that passing lane up the hill... it was a free-for-all, no one seemed to have a clue where to be on the road. They should have at least put temporary markers down if they were waiting for construction to be complete.

This doc explains the various forms of line marking and what is more durable.

Great shots, Ian!

Yeah that drop down into Osoyoos from the Boundary country has some dramatic scenery.
Cool to see the wind turbines up there. Those must be fairly recent |
