Thompson Canyon

I am just before the highway 8 turnoff on the transcanada.

This part of the road is really tough. I'm battling a headwind, blowing up the canyon, that's gotta be at least 30km/h, if not more.

The shoulder dissapears when the highway snakes around the rock walls, and a seemingly endless convoy of tractor trailers, winnebagos, and speeding idiots don't seem to want to either slow down, or spare me an inch.

All trip I've been playing a game with nyself when passing these walls, and seeing the debris on the shoulder, looking at the rocks and wondering "death" or "injury", if each fallen rock had landed on me.

I will be glad to get to lytton, I think it's going to be an early bedtime for me tonight. Today has been hard.
