Spillimacheen, British Columbia

We said our final (?) goodbyes to Alberta and drove through the rockies one last time.

We turned left before Lake Louise, headed through Kooteney National Park, down perhaps the longest steady downward slope we've ever driven, and eventually settled along an offshoot of the Columbia River in a little place called Spillimacheen.

On the way to the Rockies we stopped in Canmore, which I judged to be a nice mountain town.

Then we headed on into BC. It was a bit of a detour as there was a section of the Trans-Canada Highway closed heading into BC. I'm certain it was the more scenic route. It took more like 5 hours to get to our destination as it was a single land highway with several large trucks backing up traffic.

This was another boondocking site. Just a little side road of a side road off the highway.

It was a pretty area, but definitely just a stopover for the night.

The most notable event was when I took Kenting out to pee before bed and saw a steady stream of starlike objects moving in a line rapidly in the sky. Each star disappeared at the same spot, inexplicably. I called my wife to come quick. Baffled, we observed the stream eventually come to an end as the final moving light faded to black.

I was convinced this was an alien armada traveling through a wormhole. Nobody in the Kodiak had a better explanation. 

Then I looked it up, and apparently it was Elon Musk's Starlink satellites being launched. Lame.

We drove on the next morning.
