The newest "Reach the Peak" which started on December 6th will also get you entered into the Geocaching Vloggers "Geochallenge of the Month" if you get enough points to get the souvenir.  You need 6190 points to receive the souvenir. The biggest one yet!! More on this next month. 

I have already won the geochallenge of the month twice in the past, getting me two different colored geocoins. (I got 1st place and 3rd place)

Trans Canada Highway Adventure Lab Series

So in my last blog, I said I would write more about this, as I was planning to journey over toward Golden to do some research on the locations of my AL. But since last months blog, British Columbia was hit with some nasty rain storms and a large chunk of road infrastructure has been destroyed. Bridges have been knocked down, roads washed out, mudslides across the roads. Many travelers stranded for days. 311 people had to be rescued off the Coquihalla Hwy by helicopter. Several lives were lost, many properties and vehicles were destroyed. Lots of animals and Livestock were lost. The damage is devastating and may take months to repair. The lower mainland has been literally cut off from the rest of BC. Gas sales are being restricted, and travel is being restricted to essential only.

Here are some pics from just days after the flooding.

Huge sections of Hwy 5 were washed away, and travel is impossible on this route.

Bridges were knocked down, cutting off highway travel.

NOTE: The highlighted or underlined words in my blog can be clicked on as they are links to other cool stuff!! Also if you click on any of the pictures they become bigger!!!

This is Hwy 1 at a spot called snake hill

As you can see from the few pics of many that are out there, the damage was massive and they are saying it will take months to repair.

Kamloops caching

I had a show in Kamloops, which when I booked it back in August the plan was to drive there and grab several caches along the way. NOPE....Had to fly there!!

This cool sparkly building caught my eye as I was out caching.

A cool pedestrian bridge to cross when the trains are coming thru town.

Here is that same building from the pedestrian bridge.

Is it a huge log?, Is it a building? or is it part of an Adventure Lab??

Some of the back alley murals around the town.

So hopefully in the next couple of months I will be able to travel towards the Alberta border, to work on my Trans Canada Highway Adventure Lab. Would love to get it published soon. But more about that in the next month or two. 

Until then, Stay Safe, Get Vaccinated, Wear your Mask, and Wash your Hands!!

Well that's it for this month,

Keep on caching!!
