We didn’t actually see this polar bear, but he looks like he’s having as exciting a day as we had! Doesn’t he look cozy?

Notes: We got a very late start today (Nick had internet stuff to do). Before getting out of town, we stopped for a cup of coffee. Here in Canada (Alaska, too), it seems we can’t go anywhere without being stopped by dozens of curious people who wish to talk about our expedition and our Certified Discoverys. Folks are just really interested in what we have going on, and that’s COOL! I hope some of the people we’ve met will go online and read more about us, and I hope that leads them to make a donation to the Parkinson’s Institute. Come on, guys, make a donation and enter to win a Certified Land Rover expedition Discovery!
The drive to Vancouver would have been a very pretty one, had we not reached the mountains in the dark. As it were, the drive was actually long and boring. But, we made it, and that’s enough to make us quite happy. It’s good to be in Vancouver. We saw several freeway signs for the USA border on the way here. Tomorrow, we have some media opportunities to attend, and we have to clean out our well-used, well-lived-in vehicles. | ||
Help support our cause: The LONGITUDE Expedition is the longest journey ever attempted with a focus on Parkinson's Disease. The Drive Around the World team aims to raise money for Parkinson’s Disease research by driving four Certified, Pre-Owned Land Rover Discoverys around the globe following lines of longitude. Readers are encouraged to pledge small amounts of money per expedition-kilometer via a pledge form that can be found on our Parkinson’s page by clicking HERE. One hundred percent of donations received go directly to Parkinson's research, and all who donate $10 or more will be entered into a raffle to win an expedition-equipped Land Rover Discovery.
