Day 1

Saturday, July 20, 2013 was the first day of our vacation. We had staged all the items on our list in the entrance of the house. I took the garbage to the transfer station and cut the grass with enough time to load the pickup by 9:00 a.m. Shortly after that we headed up the Sea to Sky on our way to Quesnel.

A stop on the Sea to Sky allowed me to practice with the new Sigma 70-300 lens I bought for shooting wildlife and scenery. My subjects were the motorcycles going by on the highway. I caught a picture of this girl by panning as she drove by.

Here’s another practice shot with the same lens when we stopped for ice-cream cones at Clinton.

We made it to Quesnel and got a room at the Sylvan Motel before calling Bill and Krystal and arranging for breakfast at their house in the morning. Then we went up to Dave and Karen’s for a beer.
