Off to a ROCKY start......... Everything was going perfect for our 8am departure this morning. By 9am we somehow managed to get all of our stuff in the car and then realized that the car was locked, and the keys were in the ignition. No big deal, K.Wilkes has AAA and let us use her membership to call a locksmith (Thanks again Kathi!) By 10am we were on the road, only two hours behind schedule! Traffic sucked in Seattle, but we made it through customs fine. We were smooth sailing.
We had lunch right outside of Hope, BC and then as soon as we got back on the highway we got pulled over. They were just pulling over random people, I guess for some type of training (sounds like bullshit to me too), anyways..despite the fact that Tamara was speeding they let us go.
Several hours later I'm driving and we get pulled over again, this is the HIGHlight of our trip so far (beside the scenery of course). This time the cop asked for my ID and registration, and then asked me to step out of the car, and then no joke, interrogated me on how much pot I was trafficking and where I was hiding it. Since Tamara and I didn't have any, I offered to let him search the car. He didn't really want to do that, but was adamant that we smelled like pot and certainly had to have some on us, "So you mean to tell me that you don't have one joint on you, not even one bag. It's no big deal we can take care of this without any problem." I think they were pretty disappointed when they realized we really didn't have any pot. Tamara and I are convinced they just wanted to get stoned and profiled us because she has Oregon plates. Despite the fact that I was going close to 30km over the speed limit they let us go.
We were trying to get to Prince George today but finally stopped about 70 miles early in Quesnel, BC. Look at a map, that is a really far f-ing drive (556 miles) for one day. We're exhausted but still very pleased with our first day.
