300 Miles to Annis Bay - Golden to Revelstoke

From Wednesday to Monday last week, Kelvin Jr. and I took the beautiful, fall return-trip to Annis Bay. There was no snow on the roads, nor by the sides of the roads. The needles on the tamaracks have been blown to the ground, and only a residual burnished colour is left on the trees. Both days were lovely driving days.

We were talking about the number of times we have travelled this road, and discussed our favourite parts. He loves the long ribbons of roads between Golden and Revelstoke, the spaces that are enclosed by the trees. I have a favourite part every 100 mile, though I told him that the ride between Golden and Revelstoke is a hard one for me. I can never remember what is coming around the next corner.

He agreed that it is the longest stretch. He took out a pen and helped me make pneumonic device. I noticed Doral did that for his kids on one journey: a nice map with many curves and pictures of what would happen next along the 300 miles.

Recognize any of the road markers Kelvin Jr. and I found along the way?
