I'll try and post a few more pics.
We stayed a few days in Kelowna, and a couple in Vernon, BC.
While there we managed to tour 3 wineries in the Okanagan Valley, and sample some of their yummy wines.
I managed to get a tour of the Campion Boat Co in Kelowna with the owner of the company. My last two boats have been Campions.

Here are a few shots around the Vernon/Kelowna/Penticton area in BC.
By the Waterfront in Kelowna on Okanagan Lake

On the road by Summerland,BC


Parked by the Beach in Penticton, BC


We travelled on to Osoyoos, BC

Parked by the same spot the above pic was taken


We then travelled to Greenwood, BC, it was an old western town in the middle of nowhere.
Here is one of the fun roads leading to Greenwood..


Parked on the main street of Greenwood, BC


We then travelled to the town of Grand Forks, BC. It was a nice little town near the Washington border. We found it so funny here, the deer seemed to have the run of the town.
While Karen and I walked to the restaurant we encountered a few deer right in a residential area.


Then, while we were eating dinner we looked out the window we saw more deer.


After leaving Grand Forks, we travelled through Washington, Idaho and into Montana.
We could certainly see why they call Montana "BIg Sky Country". It was beautiful.
Here are a few pics from Montana

Me horsing around as usual

The Okanagan certainly is beautiful, been there a few times, summer and winter -- great skiing at Silver Star and Big White. But the Shuswap (around Sicamous to Salmon Arm) is my favourite area of the interior.

Looks like you 'bear'ly survived Montana...

I agree Wayne, that is nice in the Shuswap area, we had lunch at Salmon Arm and did the drive on that road around the Shuswap.

We had a thorough tour around Vernon also, my Dad lived there in his 20s and stayed with a distant relative and we enjoyed a day at his cabin on the Okanagan.

Thanks Shane, I have lots more.
I have a ton of pics from Yellowstone Park. We spent two good days there and put over 450 kms on the FX in the Park alone.

Yesterday we were on a fantastic run in Bighorn National Park in Wyoming. It was one of the most breath-taking runs we have done.I have pics of it too.
It was the hottest day of our cruise yesterday, the temp rose to 40 C when we were in the open desert flats of Wyoming.

Today we want to see Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse in the Black Hills, and the Badlands in South Dakota.

When I get a chance I will post the pics.

Here are some pics which were all taken at Yellowstone Park. It is situated in Montana and Wyoming. We spent 10 hours in the Park the first day and 6 hours the second day. We will definitely return here, we could easily spend a week or two in this Park.
There is wildlife galore, we had to stop a few times because bison were blocking the road, they have the run of the park. There are lots of Grizlies, black bears, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, elk etc all ver this park.
The park is also teeming with all kinds of different geysers, the most well known being "Old Faithful"
