When did the West Coast Trail move to Vancouver? Still, I suppose that’s what we get with a Conservative minority government…
Yeah, I do remember Valdez. I’d put in in dead last as well. Pehaps mid-winter with a board under my arm it might start to look a little better…
Yeah…but…Moab is too hot most of the year! Pretty in spring though – worth the drive indeed.
