This is a belated trip report of our trip to the Canadian Rockies.
Friday: July 23rd
We started out of Seattle at exactly 4PM. The plan was to take I-90
to Coeur d'Alene and then turn north to Canada border via Bonners
Ferry. I got out of work a little bit early while Nandana packed the
car. The traffic was light out of Seattle and we made good time until
Issaquah. That's when we realized that we forgot our USB cable for
the digital camera: a frantic search on iPhone revealed that the
closest Radio Shack was on the next exit. Radio Shack did not have
the right cable, but instead we got a 4GB SD card which should hold
the photos we were likely to shoot. It was smooth sailing after that
and we did not stop until Spokane to get gas. Saranga and Gitashree
were also en route to Yellowstone and we had hourly update from them
on their progress. They were about 30 mins ahead of us on the way and
we parted ways at Coeur d'Alene where they continued on I-90 to
Missoula, MT. We had not booked any motel on the way for that night.
Searching for hotels on the GPS and calling them finally yielded a
Super 8 at Ponderay, ID. We would have preferred to go further, but
there was nothing available in Bonners Ferry and the next significant
town inside Canada was too far away.
