I’m back to where I was in ’08, trying to decide how I’m going to get to the south Okanagan from Banff, and, of course, want to go a different route. I had thought to dip into Montana and Idaho, but there are too many reasons why I don’t want to cross the border with Miranda at this time.<\/p>\n

So, I decided to see if I could hit Radium Hot Springs and the Crows Nest Pass in one fell swoop. I put into Google Maps the following locations:<\/p>\n

A) Banff<\/p>\n

B) Radium Hot Springs<\/p>\n

C) Crows Nest<\/p>\n

D) Osoyoos<\/p>\n

Without asking for any clarifications, this is what Google spit out:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(I particularly like the part where it has me go to Australia and then come right back around to BC.)<\/p>\n

At any rate, the Crowsnest Pass is out of my way, but I will be going through Radium Hot Springs and the Kootenays, a route a friend tried to convince me to take back in 08′. Let it not be said that I don’t pay attention to comments!<\/p>\n

This route puts me at three easy days to Osoyoos while, not counting today, I have nine days left before I start paying rent. I’d like to divide the mileage up into shorter days and perhaps spend a day or two in another location outside of the national parks system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
