Day one on the road...up in the mountains somewhere near Invermere, BC.
I turned off highway 93 a few kilometers before Radium onto a logging road. 20km down the logging road, I turned onto a track that took me down to a little campsite overlooking the Kootney river. I am the only one here. I won't be able to upload this until I get back to civilization tomorrow, but I thought I'd write about it now.
I don't remember the last time I was "cut off" from the internet for this long. It will be almost 48 hours by the time I get back where my cellphone will work again. No sports scores, emails or text messages. No people. No television. Just me in the backwoods of British Columbia...alone with my thoughts. I like it.
...but I do have a list of things to do when I get back online...before dissapearing again up into the hills by Fort Steele.
I think I need to make more of an effort to unplug in the future. Not just for a couple of hours when I go for a hike in the mountains and don't have cell coverage, but for days at a time. It's incredibly relaxing.

P.S. I'm down in Cranbrook now, at a Tim Horton's updating my emails and text messages, and uploading my blog. This afternoon I'm planning to go up to Summer Lake, near Ft. Steele, for a couple of days...what do you think the chances are that I've got coverage up there? I kind of hope not...
