HOPE, HELL'S GATE, KELOWNA

we were listening to "witchy woman" by eagles and i said "this song is fitting for our road trip because we'll be in the country." jon replied "we're only in surrey"

*jon filled up his car using the chevron gift card ACC club gave him. he would like to thank the ACC club :)

there were wooden carvings made by pete ryan all throughout downtown hope. hope is known as the chainsaw carving capital.

jon and i just came back from walking through othello tunnels. they are located in the coquihalls canyon provincial park in hope. the walk took 45 minutes. the tunnels were constructed in 1911 to 1916 for the kettle valley railway. this is where first blood (rambo), shoot to kill and far from home: adventures of yellow dog were filmed. it was such an amazing site. :) we ate a can of lemon and dill tuna, 1 pack of cheese sticks, cuttlefish and 2 granola bars on the walk.

"later can you clean the lettuce off my crotch and throw it out the window" - jon said while eating a jr chicken. we bought 2 jr chickens at mcdonalds in hope.

We just went to hell’s gate air tram and road the gondola over the river. It was quite scary. The hell’s gate describes the deepest and narrowest (and fastest) point of the fraser river. It was scary when we crossed the bridge because i’m afraid of water and heights.

From hell’s gate air tram, we were about to leave for kelowna but our gps wanted us to go onto the dirt road to get there. We drove back and forth twice before realizing we had to drive back to hope before we can go to kelowna.

We went to subway to get dinner. We had a footlong pizza sub meal. The subway at hope ran out of cucumbers and napkins which i thought was weird. NO NAPKINS...

We’re on our way to kelowna now.
