Driest Location in British Columbia

Added: 2026-05-30

[00:00:00]Oh no.

[00:00:09]>> Good morning.

[00:00:12]How are you guys doing today? Here's our load.

[00:00:17]She's pretty. She's pretty. Got some culverts.

[00:00:25]Driving kind of into the sun. Well, we're kind of going to drive direction here. just uh through the cam loop scale. They're doing a blitz. There's got to be over 50 CVSSE officers and cops over there. It's crazy. A cop just barely passed me and stopped in front of me. So hopefully he doesn't want to talk to me.

[00:00:49]The risk I take for uh stopping at a scale while they're doing a blitz.

[00:00:55]But uh we'll hammer down out of here.

[00:00:58]Yeah, looks like a cop and a ghost ghost pickup.

[00:01:03]We'll get out of here. We're going to be doing this blitz for the next three days. And it looks like we're going to be coming through the scale a couple more times. So hopefully we get through the scales without having to pull in and get an inspection. But if we do, we do. We know we're running legal. Kind of nice. Kind of nice having that stress off of you knowing that you're legal every time, all the time.

[00:01:32]Hi.

[00:01:33]>> Hi.

[00:01:33]>> You want a microphone?

[00:01:35]>> And a water.

[00:01:36]>> And a water. Okay.

[00:01:37]>> Yeah. I could have done that, but I was watching him a little >> watching the cops.

[00:01:41]>> Mhm.

[00:01:48]Here's your water.

[00:01:50]>> All right.

[00:01:54]Feels warm, suddenly he stopped and I was like, >> "Yeah."

[00:02:11]>> Yeah.

[00:02:14]>> I wonder if he's just sitting there waiting for scale runners.

[00:02:20]Or he's just waiting for people like you pass the scale and what what are you getting them fixed?

[00:02:25]>> Huh?

[00:02:28]>> Well, I fig I checked my whole load while we're st. So, we are currently on TransCanada Highway 1 and Yellowhead Highway 5.

[00:02:41]TransCanada Highway 1 west, Yellowhead Highway 5 southbound, and Highway 97 northbound. So, we're on three highways right now.

[00:02:54]>> Take exit 362 on the right to highway 97.

[00:03:05]>> And that's it for Highway 5. Thank you for being with us. Highway 5 all of a few seconds.

[00:03:14]Now we are on Highway 1 westbound and Highway 97 north.

[00:03:22]>> It's not where we thought we were going today, but I'm up for it.

[00:03:25]>> No, I thought didn't expect we had this direction at all, but trying a thing with my camera. So hopefully this works out.

[00:03:47]If not, then dude wants a ride.

[00:03:54]Um, I already have a passenger and really not giving you a ride. Not in a work vehicle.

[00:04:06]We've given people people rides with our personal vehicle every now and then.

[00:04:12]>> Yeah, >> it's worked out pretty good. Kind of just use your judgment call, right? When it feels sketchy and when it doesn't.

[00:04:36]I think I remember one in Saskatchewan or something. We were in the prairie somewhere.

[00:04:42]>> Yeah, I think that was Saskatchewan.

[00:04:43]Yeah, >> those of course one in Colona we talk about all the time cuz that was funny.

[00:04:47]>> Yeah.

[00:04:48]>> Uh stick out.

[00:04:53]Those are both people that were broken down and they needed help. So, we gave them a ride >> to where they could get help.

[00:05:03]I've given two other hitchhikers that are have a strong memory.

[00:05:10]Um, one I picked up in Pentictton I when we still lived in Olala.

[00:05:16]>> Uh, she was she was looking for a ride.

[00:05:21]I had my uh I think Michelle Tombs music blast thing playing.

[00:05:27]>> Okay.

[00:05:29]>> She wanted to I I just asked her where she was headed and told her I'm headed to to Carameas. She goes, "Yeah, me too." It's like, "Okay, jump on in. Have a ride."

[00:05:44]And uh we went from Walmart area to the end of the river channel and she wanted out already.

[00:05:57]Apparently that's how the working girls.

[00:06:02]She wanted a different kind of ride.

[00:06:04]>> Yeah. and my Christian music playing on the radio.

[00:06:10]>> So they bargain.

[00:06:15]>> So it's like, "Oh, you weren't looking for that kind of a ride. I understand.

[00:06:20]Yes, by all means, get out of this vehicle.

[00:06:24]It's not going to work out for you."

[00:06:27]And the other one was I picked up a dude somewhere south of Pentictton and just wanted to ride in town.

[00:06:39]And while we're driving along, all he reaches into his jacket pocket, pulls in a beer, and opens it. I'm like, "Well, now I have open liquor in the vehicle, so nope. That's the end of your ride."

[00:06:50]So I pull over and get out. Get out.

[00:06:54]What? What? Like it's open liquor. I cannot drive a vehicle with open liquor in my vehicle.

[00:07:00]Get out of my vehicle. So, those two are my didn't go didn't go to plan rides.

[00:07:15]It's like I am not getting open liquor ticket cuz some mom I'm giving a ride opens a beer in in the Come on. Can't do that.

[00:07:30]You guys have funny stories, leave a comment.

[00:07:33]>> Yeah. What are your what are your unexpected or faith in humanity stories?

[00:07:44]E either pro- faith or negative faith in humanity stories.

[00:07:50]Sure, we all have some of those stories.

[00:07:55]Yeah, I remember the when I was with you in West Colona.

[00:08:00]>> Yeah.

[00:08:00]>> And then I remember another one. It wasn't hitchhiking, but we had a coworker with us all the way to Fort St. John back.

[00:08:08]>> Oh, yeah.

[00:08:09]>> And on the way back, we don't know what happened with him.

[00:08:14]>> We took him up that way. We did not return with him.

[00:08:19]>> Well, that was special, too.

[00:08:21]>> Yeah. I don't think I can say the words he said on YouTube, but it was very inappropriate.

[00:08:33]If if someone told me that the dude stalked a young girl somewhere in his future, I I would say, "Yep, saw that coming."

[00:08:43]>> Yep.

[00:08:44]>> Just super inappropriate conversations.

[00:08:47]>> I forget.

[00:08:48]>> Like, no, dude. That's not okay. We we made that clear that wasn't okay and that he was not getting a ride back with us.

[00:08:58]>> That's like what it took us 12 hours, 14 hours. I don't I don't remember. It is a long drive with that guy.

[00:09:06]>> I was not taking the trip back with them.

[00:09:08]>> No.

[00:09:34]I'm trying to remember where the bison are over here.

[00:09:37]>> What? There's bison here.

[00:09:40]Isn't it on this route?

[00:09:42]>> You've told me that before, but I don't know. Have you seen bison here?

[00:09:45]>> There's a farm. It's a bison farm ranch.

[00:09:48]Okay.

[00:09:51]>> I don't remember where it is until the last moment and I'm like, you know, there it is. Right. So, so yeah, picked up this load in Armstrong and it's headed to a 100mile house technically to 106 miles to the gravel pit there.

[00:10:13]I was hoping that they would let me unload today, but it doesn't work for them. So, they're going to have someone unlock the pit for me. We can pull in tonight and just dummy lock it behind us and then pull in and sleep in the yard and they'll come and unload us at 7 a.m.

[00:10:32]>> Thank you.

[00:10:33]>> It's nice. We have a spot to sleep.

[00:10:34]>> Then we have a spot to park and sleep and Yeah. Appreciate that. It's a 100 mile area. It does have parking, but he can fill up.

[00:10:43]>> It has some parking, but none of it has washroom access. If we're parked inside the the pit, there's forest all around.

[00:10:53]So, a forest is better than on the side of a highway.

[00:10:58]>> The only downside is, huh, I was like, hm, we know somebody that lives there.

[00:11:02]It's just not going to work to meet up this time. Maybe next time.

[00:11:05]>> Oh, yeah.

[00:11:08]Yeah, that's the problem with driving. People want to meet up. It's just time.

[00:11:15]We'll be there tonight, >> but we'll be at the pit, so we can't really >> be at the pit and then deliver and then hammer out of there again first thing in the morning.

[00:11:26]>> Yeah, we'll be spending the night at 100 mile.

[00:11:40]So apparently the weather turns for the worst starting tomorrow just in time for all the vacationers and campers.

[00:11:54]>> And we're supposed to get as much rain in two days as we have gotten all year.

[00:12:00]>> Could be interesting. And then they're calling for snow on the mountain passes, thunderstorms, a lot of wind. It's going to be like very unstable weather.

[00:12:10]>> Mhm.

[00:12:16]>> I I don't see it being as bad as you think it says. I I somehow think it'll do. 10 centimeters of snow on the passes seems I think the forecast is a little too far away to be sure we're going to get that much but we'll see.

[00:12:33]>> I mean even if you get a couple of centimeters >> Oh, it'll be chaos.

[00:12:36]>> It'd be chaos if nobody's winter tires.

[00:12:38]>> Yeah. Winter tires came off a month ago >> and they all forget how to drive already, you know.

[00:12:54]This is beautiful drive. I I love this part of the drive. Very, very dry here.

[00:12:59]You know how lush and green the last couple videos are.

[00:13:04]This should be that lush and green, but it's already just desert. It's one of the driest places in British Columbia from here all the way to Linton Lowette that this area is just super dry.

[00:13:18]>> Mhm. Even more so than Okanagan It's unravel.

[00:13:41]>> I don't know. But >> I knew you would take care of it for me.

[00:13:44]>> Did you?

[00:13:45]>> Yep.

[00:13:46]>> This looks like it's a field of either canola, maybe. Yeah, it looks like canola. I don't think that's mustard seed.

[00:13:59]I feel a canola. And yeah, they're irrigating. I'm like, it's way too green for over here. I'm like, there's got to be irrigation. And it's going right now.

[00:14:06]Yeah. All these green fields are all irrigated.

[00:14:13]All our lakes are way below level, normal level. So, >> and our rivers flow into the US. So, they're >> I guess not this lake, this lake that flows through Vancouver. But the US is going to be requesting for more water to be released.

[00:14:33]And due to politics currently, there's not a great deal on the on the table for Canada to release any more water.

[00:14:44]>> If we release too much, our salmon suffer like we can't.

[00:14:50]So with the hay and dams up here, Canada could just release the it's a it's a we're sitting on the old original agreement right now.

[00:15:04]They tried to make a new one, but that one's getting cancelled again. So all that work has gone to nothing. The original agreement is great for Canada.

[00:15:15]So right now the the the the water agreement between uh British Columbia and Washington is all the electricity that the dams make in the US from our rivers, we get half that money.

[00:15:35]So and there's a minimum amount of water we can we're allowed to send to the US.

[00:15:42]And right now with the politics the way they are, they may use water as a trading tool and hold more water back than we need to with the drought up here. That's a really good excuse to do it without being too political. So yeah, politics and our water levels can get dirty.

[00:16:06]>> Yeah.

[00:16:16]We already saw a fire that started today.

[00:16:20]>> Yep. Fire trucks were zooming to go get the fire, but >> it's it's dry over here.

[00:16:26]>> It's dry.

[00:16:30]That golf course is beautiful and green.

[00:16:32]They definitely irrigate like crazy.

[00:16:34]>> Don't get me started on golf courses.

[00:16:37]>> What? I like golf courses.

[00:16:39]>> Yeah. But they use a lot of water.

[00:16:41]>> Yeah.

[00:16:43]Some golf courses use too much water, but I know the one between the legs actually goes brown.

[00:16:49]>> Mhm.

[00:16:50]>> Cuz it's just so dry and they don't have enough water. So I think desert golf courses that both have a good water supply should just have brown have brown fair what are they called I don't I don't ever golf I'm not none of the golfing terms everything but the putting greens the greens maybe you should irrigate the greens but the rest is just should be one of the unique playing styles in the desert.

[00:17:51]Slept over here at this rest area a few times.

[00:18:06]We were awake this morning already, thankfully. But I don't get people that honk when they drive past you.

[00:18:12]>> Why? We were sleeping on a side road.

[00:18:16]>> And we were off the road.

[00:18:17]>> We were off the road on the side road.

[00:18:20]>> It's not busy or anything.

[00:18:21]>> The semir drove by and honked at us. I'm like, what? Why?

[00:18:26]>> Like like Jess said, we were awake already, but why?

[00:18:30]Why? Why honk and other people that are sleeping on >> train over there?

[00:18:34]>> Oh yeah.

[00:18:38]Canadian national train on the other side of the lake. You guys can't see it.

[00:18:43]>> But yeah, I was like it's just rude.

[00:18:46]Like good for you having a spot to sleep at night in town probably at home and go to bed, you know?

[00:18:56]>> Or maybe somebody honked at him and now he's mad. wants to honk at other people.

[00:19:01]>> Yeah.

[00:19:01]>> I don't know. It's kind of rude honking at people.

[00:19:08]>> Like we weren't where he had to park his stop. Nothing like >> Yeah.

[00:19:13]>> Yeah.

[00:19:14]>> On a side road off the road where lots of other cars parked as well.

[00:19:27]>> Mhm.

[00:19:28]industrial zone, right? Why would you honk it?

[00:19:32]>> Come on.

[00:19:35]>> Sometimes people do it in the middle of the night, too. So, like, why?

[00:19:40]>> Doesn't happen often, but people are rude.

[00:19:42]>> Yeah.

[00:19:49]>> For those people that go find a better place to park, there are none.

[00:19:55]They park at a truck stop.

[00:19:59]Colona has one truck stop. H two truck stops. Only one with parking.

[00:20:04]>> Neither of them we can park at.

[00:20:06]>> And neither of them we are allowed to park at because we don't fuel up at either. So we are not allowed to park in those yards.

[00:20:16]Two truck stops and they will not allow us to park.

[00:20:20]Uh the truck stop that we stopped at in Chillowak there gets all the way full very quick. We We were lucky to get a space.

[00:20:33]>> Oh yeah, >> that one we are allowed to park in.

[00:20:38]We tried a different one first, but they've got all this new signing that says we can't park there.

[00:20:43]>> They just fell off. We're like, "No."

[00:20:46]>> Yeah, we'll we'll try the other one first. Luckily, they had enough space for us.

[00:20:53]Man, if there was if there was room at truck stops and we had truck stops, I' I'd sleep there every time. But >> yeah, and people have to realize that people that drive also park there overnight and go home. They don't >> at the truck stops. Yeah.

[00:21:09]>> Yeah. Like >> 90 90% of those vehicles parked at the truck stop, they don't sleep in their truck. They park there and go home.

[00:21:17]>> Yeah.

[00:21:17]>> Yeah. And then during the day, they have their personal vehicle there blocking >> blocking in their spot.

[00:21:22]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:21:24]>> So, you don't have a spot because, you know, their company doesn't pay for them to have another parking spot somewhere in town. So, they take a trucking spot.

[00:21:32]>> Truck parking is just not a thing. You just have to park somewhere and hope nobody minds.

[00:21:48]>> Another train >> going the other direction. This this side is Canadian. It's Cana Can Canadian Pacific Kansas City.

[00:21:58]>> I know. We've seen like five trains today. Now we're booing.

[00:22:06]>> We saw one, two, three before count loops. Now one on the other side. That was four and this is five. Oh, you said five.

[00:22:15]>> You don't think I know how to count trees, do you?

[00:22:18]>> Apparently I'm wrong.

[00:22:21]No, you're right. We're on the same page.

[00:22:23]>> Apparently, you're right. Got it.

[00:22:56]I'm using a lot of washer fluid with all the bugs. I think I want to be out pretty quick.

[00:23:02]>> Mhm.

[00:23:02]>> Should have filled that up again.

[00:23:06]Looks like a fully loaded grain train headed headed to the coast sending grain across the ocean.

[00:23:17]So, we just saw that fuel station. I talked about the random fuel prices today. I know we talked about it in the last video here today.

[00:23:24]>> Oh, the last was like a $1.90 or whatever.

[00:23:28]>> Yeah.

[00:23:29]>> But in Cola, we saw $160.

[00:23:32]>> Yep. $160.

[00:23:34]>> And then the one literally next to it, >> Kitty Corner across. Yeah.

[00:23:37]>> Well, some of them were like the next driveway in the States. Yeah. Like >> or $210 or something. Yeah, >> that's another train on the other side.

[00:23:46]>> Uh-huh. So, it was a 40 cent difference between two driveways. And I cannot figure this.

[00:23:52]>> Literally next to each other, two fuel stations. And some people were fueling up at the one that was 40ome cents more.

[00:24:00]>> Yeah.

[00:24:05]Say it boggled my mind when I saw that.

[00:24:07]I was like, why? Why?

[00:24:10]There's a few of them that were doing that. So, it wasn't just one.

[00:24:15]>> Containers heading inland and grain heading out.

[00:24:25]Front of the grain right there.

[00:24:33]>> I love this part of the driveway. You just have trains right next to you in the mountains, water.

[00:24:38]It's a beautiful, >> beautiful section.

[00:24:50]Could you see if you can connect to the rear facing cam? It's not rear facing today. I put it in the caliper.

[00:24:58]Just make sure it hasn't toppled over.

[00:24:59]If you can connect to it. If you can't, then no big deal.

[00:25:09]Savana. Welcome to Savana.

[00:25:20]Crossing over the train track.

[00:25:26]>> I'm impressed.

[00:25:29]>> It's still standing upright.

[00:25:31]>> Still standing upright. Cool.

[00:25:34]Excellent.

[00:25:48]>> You could park here and watch the train going by. You >> could. Oh, no. The other train was down there. We already went past that train.

[00:25:57]>> We haven't seen another train on here.

[00:25:59]We've only seen one train.

[00:26:00]>> Yeah. One that way. heading eastbound on that one. So this is K National on this side.

[00:26:46]Just so dry. Everything is gold in here.

[00:26:52]>> Like it looks more green back home.

[00:26:54]>> Yeah, barely any green at all.

[00:27:13]always enjoy how much the landscape changes from one day to another.

[00:27:21]>> I think that's what I loved about Highway 14 especially. Yeah, you can see drove through >> Yakama. It was desert.

[00:27:33]Guess try cities. It was desert. You go from desert and you end up going through a rainforest.

[00:27:43]>> Yeah, it's pretty cool.

[00:27:44]>> Yeah. switching from a literal sand dunes to to a rainforest.

[00:27:55]All of this lake has literal sand dunes.

[00:27:58]>> I think that's what I really like about a lot of places when it drastically changes. Like I wasn't expecting it.

[00:28:05]>> I think that's why Dry Falls is one of my favorite places too >> cuz the surprise of it. Yeah.

[00:28:10]>> Yeah. The surprise of it. Right. And then like New Zealand comes to mind.

[00:28:13]That shocked us. Right. Yeah, you see you see Newfaland on video and on YouTube so many hundreds of times.

[00:28:23]It's just not it just doesn't matter how much you try explaining it until you get there, you just don't understand.

[00:28:32]>> Yep.

[00:28:37]>> Like parts of PEI with how red it was and you know Utah comes to mind when it was really orange sand. PI is the first time I ran into sand that makes noise.

[00:28:48]>> The singing sand.

[00:28:49]>> Singing sand. It's the first time I experienced that.

[00:28:52]>> And I was so excited because that's what I grew up in Michigan.

[00:28:56]>> That's where I grew up in Michigan. We had singing sand. But to me, it's normal. I never thought about it.

[00:29:01]>> That sand sinks.

[00:29:03]>> Yep.

[00:29:05]>> That's not normal. Sand doesn't do that.

[00:29:10]>> I was like, what do you mean? But yeah.

[00:29:12]Here's a question for you guys. When you guys have walked in sand, has it made noise?

[00:29:33]Like actual like musical notes?

[00:29:40]>> They don't know. I mean you just Google singing sand.

[00:29:43]>> Yeah. For some people for Jess sand making music is normal. For me that was like what is good? What is this? This is not normal.

[00:29:59]So I don't know which one is the normal one. It is >> I think not is normal. I think not making music is normal.

[00:30:08]>> Like where we live in Okanagan, we have beaches of sand, >> right? Like the le sand and >> Mexico sand and the US along the ocean sand. None of it has ever sang to me.

[00:30:19]>> I think it's very very uh unique. What causes it? I can't remember what.

[00:30:25]>> Lake Michigan had it and Prince Edward Island had it. Yeah, I have to look up Hawaii again.

[00:30:33]But it's interesting card lock there.

[00:30:38]>> Oh yeah.

[00:30:44]Forgot that there's a new esoter there.

[00:30:47]>> A rodeo. Is that this weekend too?

[00:30:49]>> I don't know.

[00:30:52]Looks like they're putting up some portaotties.

[00:30:55]There's tractors in there and there's horses coming. Look like they're getting ready for a rodeo.

[00:30:59]>> Yeah, probably this weekend.

[00:31:07]There's quite a few of them. It's always tempting to go cuz I enjoyed it last time.

[00:31:12]>> Yes, very much so.

[00:31:16]Weather does not look promising this weekend before the rodeo, >> but I might keep everybody else at home.

[00:31:21]>> Yeah.

[00:31:35]I like the last time I was like, "Oh, realizing how much skill set there is to it."

[00:31:40]>> Mhm.

[00:31:42]>> It's like, "Oh, I can't do that."

[00:31:44]>> Yeah. They're very talented.

[00:31:48]many hours.

[00:31:49]>> Horse riders and bull riders.

[00:31:54]>> Yep. Horse racing and Yeah. All of it.

[00:31:57]It's very talented.

[00:32:05]>> I think we're getting clips.

[00:32:13]>> You forgot already, have you?

[00:32:15]>> Forgot what? I'm looking for my bison.

[00:32:18]>> Oh, you're looking for your bison.

[00:32:22]>> I'm looking for trains, >> but they're down in the valley way down there on driver side.

[00:32:55]We're so close to being uh up to Prince George, but not close, but you know, >> a lot closer. Yeah. Awesome. Just got a little load go. Let's go a little further north, Dave.

[00:33:11]>> We'll get there. Heat.

[00:33:28]Heat.

[00:33:47]I got an ambulance coming this way.

[00:34:30]It's always been something I didn't think about too is if you're going to move like how close are you to hospitals and doctors?

[00:34:40]>> Ambulance eastbound on highway one headed towards Savannah.

[00:34:48]>> What's going on there?

[00:34:51]>> Ambulance headed eastbound towards Savana. Probably cam loops.

[00:35:21]Look at look at just the valley here.

[00:35:23]How different it is here. Just every time you haven't come this way for a while, >> you just experience this again. The big grand valley.

[00:35:36]It's not a grand canyon. It's not a Grand It's a Grand Valley.

[00:35:42]>> Big Grand Valley.

[00:35:58]just so big.

[00:36:02]So so much depth to everything.

[00:36:04]>> Mhm.

[00:36:21]Definitely starting to make more of a mine over there going down.

[00:36:28]>> Huh?

[00:36:29]>> Oh, you can't really see it that way.

[00:36:36]You guys can probably hear just better than I can.

[00:36:41]These microphones do a good job of uh noise cancellation. You guys don't hear as much of the truck as in real life.

[00:36:51]>> That's the mine is becoming more and more obvious.

[00:36:54]>> Like a gravel pit. Yeah.

[00:36:55]>> Yeah.

[00:36:56]>> I saw a train down there. So that's number seven. Right in the bottom there.

[00:37:00]>> Uh-huh.

[00:37:01]>> Looks like he's parked on a siding.

[00:37:08]Yeah. There's a gravel pit over there.

[00:37:10]So, at least I think it's a gravel pit.

[00:37:11]It might be an actual mine.

[00:37:12]>> Look how far out you can see that train.

[00:37:14]>> Oh, the train. Yeah. Ribbons all the way around.

[00:37:17]>> It's pretty long.

[00:37:20]>> Way out there.

[00:37:21]>> Yeah, >> it's a long one.

[00:37:27]See the train in three different spots.

[00:37:32]Like, I wish I could stop and have a drone. You get cool photo like that.

[00:37:37]Let's go for a hike and uh be at the viewpoint to overlook that.

[00:37:52]I believe that would be the Canadian National side. Doesn't mean it's Canadian national train. They they share the lines.

[00:38:07]By carrying it means less stopping on sightings.

[00:38:13]Trains can move a lot quicker.

[00:38:19]So apparently it takes five four or five days for your freight to get from the port of Vancouver.

[00:38:34]Not not Vancouver.

[00:38:36]Uh Port Alurnie Port Alurnie Highway 16 up there to Chicago.

[00:38:44]So, a lot of loads that are going to Chicago actually unload at Port Albertie because it's faster to get the freight from way up north down to Chicago than picking one of the ports in the US.

[00:39:04]>> I guess just with the way the unions are and stuff >> and Canada, it's a nice straight line.

[00:39:10]No big cities. It pretty much goes from Port Alurnie to Edmonton. Stops in Edmonton.

[00:39:15]>> Yeah.

[00:39:15]>> All the way to Winnipeg. Stops in Winnipeg down to Chicago.

[00:39:19]>> Mhm.

[00:39:21]>> It's a very very streamlined.

[00:39:25]>> Yeah.

[00:39:28]>> So, the fastest way to get loads from Asia to Chicago is Port Alurnie.

[00:39:35]>> And that port is less busy than other ports.

[00:39:38]>> Yeah. It's way up north, right? So have really deep water there. So big big cargo ships will show up bigger than the Panama ones.

[00:39:57]Big expansions on their shipyards over there in Port Albertie.

[00:40:05]>> And people actually live over there to work, you know, like it just works.

[00:40:38]Oh Yeah. Coming back down. If it's raining tomorrow, we have to be careful >> because of how desert this is. If this desert area gets a lot of rain, always get mudslides.

[00:40:48]>> Kind of like you hear about like I don't know, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, right?

[00:40:53]Like the same thing.

[00:40:54]>> If they get a lot of rain, >> watch out.

[00:40:56]>> It becomes a river, right?

[00:41:01]>> Not really a I guess it could be a river, a flood river.

[00:41:04]>> Yeah. It's just every time that happens, the next two weeks after the rainstorm, cars parked all over on the shoulders, people are hiking up in the mountains, looking at the flood areas where the mud came from.

[00:41:18]>> I know what for.

[00:41:21]>> Cuz guess what? When the mud disappears, it excavates a lot of fossils.

[00:41:29]They found dinosaurs that way.

[00:41:33]It's really cool to see what they find every time.

[00:41:36]>> Yeah. After the floods, there's always new discoveries of dinosaurs.

[00:41:40]>> You know what else they do?

[00:41:43]>> Rivers. You find a lot of gold.

[00:41:45]>> Gold. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:41:49]You get flooding from this area. A lot of gold panic starts happening.

[00:41:54]Huh. Bunch of trucks parked here.

[00:41:59]What do you bet? They're waiting for the scale to close.

[00:42:05]>> Could be very possible.

[00:42:07]>> With that huge blitz going on, it's like, well, that'd be like me.

[00:42:13]Like, I'm like, let's say tomorrow we're heading back.

[00:42:17]And I'm like, hey, we got spare time.

[00:42:19]Let's just wait here for a few hours and see if we can out wait here until the scale closes. Take a few hours off.

[00:42:30]If you're running illegally, it's worth worth doing it, right? So, that's the thing that it the Blitz is only catching people that are running 99% legal like me.

[00:42:47]>> Yeah.

[00:42:47]>> What if I have some like if you look hard enough, you're going to find some kind of defect that I didn't catch.

[00:42:52]Right. So those blitzes only catch the good drivers and the really dumb ones that don't know how to avoid the blitz.

[00:43:01]>> It's like instead of having 50 officers, why not have a couple more on the road at pull outs?

[00:43:13]>> Yeah, that's a whole right or wrong lane to pull out.

[00:43:29]And the fact that the people that are running very illegally and are smart enough just took this week off.

[00:43:34]>> Mhm.

[00:43:38]So, the actual true criminals on the road, like it should be a crime, like it should be considered criminal. The trucker corporations that are running just blending illegal trucks on the highway.

[00:43:50]>> Yeah.

[00:43:51]>> They're getting away with it because they're on vacation.

[00:44:01]Never never occurred to me until people are talking about it this year.

[00:44:05]>> Yep. my town in Vancouver. They're going, "So, where's all these trucks that we always see on the roads? Roads seem pretty empty this week." Oh, right. A blitz, you buggers.

[00:44:24]And that's said, it gives more loads for that week to everybody else.

[00:44:28]>> Yeah, we got lots of jobs this week.

[00:44:32]The go week because everybody wants their freight pool. Another thing I like about this is how non busy this highway is.

[00:44:42]>> Yeah. Very relaxing highway.

[00:44:44]>> Yeah, it's relaxing.

[00:44:44]>> Big shoulder.

[00:44:48]>> Fun drive.

[00:44:49]>> I think that's what lets you get to see it all more.

[00:44:52]>> Yeah, maybe here.

[00:44:59]>> Look at these red barns.

[00:45:01]Well, we'll drive through uh Cash Creek here and then we'll call it a day.

[00:45:08]Cash Creek's 5 km away.

[00:45:14]Keep heading north.

[00:45:34]like these corn fields starting to grow again.

[00:45:38]>> I think I can't see the >> Yeah, I'm seeing green on them. I just don't know if it's corn or something.

[00:45:44]Probably not. It's probably rotated through some kind of grain.

[00:45:52]Dude, this is corn.

[00:46:01]That silage pit is completely full of silage. You got lots of feet.

[00:46:07]It's probably a good thing with how dry it is this year. They're going to they're going to need all that silage.

[00:46:18]Baby baby robin.

[00:46:22]A bunch more baby robins. We can barely fly on this tiny little tail. Still side of the highway is not a good place for you guys.

[00:46:36]>> You okay?

[00:46:39]>> She just shakes her head. No.

[00:46:41]>> In 2 and 12 km, turn right on Highway 97.

[00:46:45]>> Welcome to Cash Creek.

[00:46:47]>> That's a vicious attack.

[00:46:51]We had attacked What attacked you? I >> don't know.

[00:47:05]>> It wasn't you. I can't blame you.

[00:47:06]>> Oh, good.

[00:47:18]There's a golf course up there, too.

[00:47:20]currently my GPS.

[00:47:42]If you get a bunch of rain, this town's always in danger, too.

[00:47:46]>> Mhm.

[00:47:48]tend to get the mudslide to just come right down the down the river.

[00:47:57]Every now and then they just take the bridges with them.

[00:48:02]One of the bridges still hasn't been rebuilt. It looks like they just don't plan on rebuilding it.

[00:48:06]>> I wonder why. H that was a really bad year for them.

[00:48:12]No construction ahead. said May 27th or something like that.

[00:48:25]>> This bridge right here.

[00:48:26]>> Okay. Yeah. This >> used to be a bridge there.

[00:48:28]>> Oh, yeah.

[00:48:30]>> Looks like they just >> Nobody needs to take that bridge. They can just take the other one. They just replace the one.

[00:48:42]I feel like that hotel got a new paint job.

[00:48:47]>> I don't remember.

[00:48:49]I'm here so little that I don't remember.

[00:48:57]Get my own lane, but I'm going to need to turn into their lane to not hit anything.

[00:49:05]Yeah. So, they replaced this bridge.

[00:49:09]It's a tiny little creek, but man, when when it floods, it's not fun.

[00:49:20]Hungry Herby's driving. See, they got a bit of a faceelift.

[00:49:24]>> They're not open, though. Oh, >> maybe they take Monday, Tuesdays off. I don't know.

[00:49:30]>> Really good burgers.

[00:49:32]>> We've had it once or twice. I don't remember.

[00:49:47]And then I'm told that the taco stand over here is really good, too.

[00:49:50]>> Me, too. I've heard that, too.

[00:49:57]>> I'm just not hungry or else I might actually.

[00:50:02]Hola Desert Hills Taco.

[00:50:07]>> This uh fruit stand market orchard place.

[00:50:12]>> Totally park a truck here.

[00:50:15]>> Yep.

[00:50:16]>> It comes up on my uh social media without me even clicking on everything.

[00:50:20]I like to stop there sometimes.

[00:50:26]>> Park over there. Walk over. See? Full of cars. Mhm.

[00:50:29]>> Packed full.

[00:50:45]If we're headed southbound, we can pull into that pull out and walk over there.

[00:50:49]>> Yep. We'll have to do it.

[00:51:08]Okay, I guess that was Cash Creek and I said we're going to end the video, right?

[00:51:15]Right.

[00:51:16]All right. I hope you guys enjoyed that.

[00:51:19]Hopefully the outside cameras did a good job.

[00:51:23]Basically, I editing the last video.

[00:51:29]I I didn't like how high contrast the video was.

[00:51:36]When when you're driving in such lush green environment, the contrast is just too big on too too big on video. So, I dumped it down a bit, but I didn't like it. And the way the shoulder cam recorded, I didn't like that either. So, I'm trying to slowly get always better.

[00:51:53]Every time we get a new camera, that new camera records in a slightly different way. And you got to work kind of figure it out, see get the lighting just right. So, I had the new camera as my shoulder cam and I didn't like that. I put back the camera that I was using as my shoulder cam. I like that one much better, at least in the past. So, we got the three newest cameras on the dash and the two mirrors.

[00:52:21]The two oldest cameras are on my shoulder and then in the culvert outside.

[00:52:27]I know you guys can't see the culvert, but I couldn't get the tether. The tether wasn't long enough to go further back so you guys could get the culvert cam.

[00:52:35]>> Mhm.

[00:52:36]>> But, ah, it is what it is.

[00:52:43]Anyway, drive through what's this community called?

[00:52:51]>> Uh, Bonapart Indian Reservation. Yep.

[00:52:56]>> Bonapart Indian Reservation >> along Bonapart River.

[00:53:16]It's a lot of flanks flapping around over there, too. Is there a fruit stand or something?

[00:53:30]Oh, like a smoke hose.

[00:53:33]Get your cigarettes. Native smokes. Got it.

[00:53:54]crossing over Bono Park Creek.
