So, I drove the route that we’re taking on the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . It took 7 1/2 hours in one go starting at 6:30am. While I’ve driven the Sea to Sky many times, the rest of it was a mystery to me. After driving it, let me just say...Wow. It is going to be fantastic.

The roads near Lillooet were a surprise though. Lived up to the “guaranteed rugged slogan” Many rock slides on the road, with BC road crews using a snowplow to clear the rocks.

Cold temps, with snow and ice near the road surface still. It will 100% be clear by May. Lakes were covered in ice with frozen waterfalls all over.

Also... in 5 places we will hit single lane road. This means we will have to yield to oncoming vehicles over 4 wooden bridges and once around a blind corner/cliff. So, be prepared for that.

I am super hyped, I wish I had known all of this sooner though. I would have not had any trouble deciding if i knew it would be this awesome!! I'll definitely try to rent something cool, hoping the Hertz at SeaTac has something ostentatious enough. I'm only renting for two days so it can't be that expensive to get a nice Z06 or something. My luck there will only be Sebring verts available though!

Almost certainly bringing the AMG. Finished most  of the work I'd been wanting to do. The last thing is a trans service, which takes less than an hour. How long do you think it would take to get from Whistler to the I5 border crossing?

Maybe 6 hours? We'll leave Whistler at like 9am I think

We’re leaning towards heading home from Whistler. Otherwise we'll be looking at like 12 hours of driving or something like that, assuming everything goes perfectly time wise.

This only makes my need to sort out steering and brake issues more urgent.

That’s j ust too pretty.

I was half hoping you would talk me into not doing that

I would require deep frying and powdered sugar to be more jelly. Wish I could make the trip.

Wish I could do this, but I will be out on the coast that weekend.  Hope the weather holds (for all of us).

Hitting NW Arkansas for a backroadtrip in a couple weekends, so at least I’m getting mine. =)
