If you want a full day drivin sunshine, I can point the way, we will skip on up to Lillooet Via Litton off the TransCanada Hwy1 a ways north of Hells Gate. This is one of the best sections of road you will find in BC, from there to Cache Creek and back down the Fraser Canyon.

On your way home take Highway 3. A) Fewer cops, B) Awsome scenery, C) Hope to Princeton is awsome.

I would think a laser jammer/scanner would be.... best for this trip. I've crunched #'s and it's 1300 k.m there, 1300 k.m back, 700 driving around, two nights in Vancouver at a nice hotel, being decent with food (no mcdonalds... but no 60/plate) what would you suggest the cost would be.. I think I'm pegged a might high at $1000!

I work it out as roughly $500CDN in gas alone, thats assuming 2200 miles which is about 3500KM, and using my typical number of 300 miles to a tank and about $60 a fillup.

Hotel, I guess prolly $100 for the two nights, tops. Maybe less, im not up on prices.

Food... $100 whole trip maybe?

Then beer, hookers, some blow.... Oh wait this is a PG13 forum.....

Those aren't hotels, or even motels, they are crack houses!!!!

I wouldn't feel comfortable sleeping there unless I was wrapped in a full body condom and packing a handgun.
