Hi folks! I'm road-trippin' with the fam through South Eastern British Columbia this weekend. We stayed in Osoyoos on Friday night, Nelson last night and tonight, then we're heading into the Slocan Valley for 1 night, then back to Osoyoos for a lay-over before heading back to the Coast.
We're having a great time and the car is running great :)

Here's a pano pic from Nelson:

Silver pics were epic! You my friend are on the right side of the tracks. Hotwheels shirt caught my eye. U can keep the glass of tomato juice and mushrooms 😝 oh the beach looked sweet too. Have fun, congrats on the upcoming work

I have a couple others i'll post tomo. I was just exploring and getting gas when i came upon tracks. Also, get this, there's a fucking money exchange in town that sells bullion!!! Our buddy who lives here is a jeweller and she buys 1ozers -- i'm going tomorrow 9am ;)

[edit:] i bought the hotwheels shirt with Charlie in mind, he thinks its awesome and so do i!
Good dad fun all around.

Beautiful pictures. I have my friend living in Canada. I keep watching what pictures she shared to internet. and they are so beautiful. I hope someday I can visit Canada. Thank you for sharing.

Thx for saying hi!

Keep an eye out ;)

These are some pretty awesome pics. Favorite is the 'transparent' silver bar. The rest are simply beautiful. Enjoy Family Time....

Thanks Goldkey!

Life is good :)

Do some Gold panning

Find that vein brew!

Thats some beautiful scenery around there. You should have left the maple on the track and waited for a train like kids used to do with pennies ;)

I thought about it ;)

Prob be a big smear of silver!

never heard of a bone broth ceasar is it like a bloody mary? that photo of the sunshine mint see through bar is wicked :)

A Caesar is akin to a bloody mary... it's a Canadian thing. Instead of Tomato juice we use "clamato" which is tomato with clam juice. Also, we add worchestershire sauce, tabasco sauce, usually salt and pepper in the drink (which is Vodka), and the celery salt the rim and put in a piece of celery, or a green bean or something. Lately in the last couple of years people have been adding on to the drinks (as shown above), and there are some bars downtown where you can get like an $75 Caesar that has a cheeseburger, mac n cheese and a bbq 1/2 chicken on it! These ones are crazy... but just a regular old Caesar is a hell of a hangover cure ;)

i thought you were joking about clamato juice so i had to look it up! I love a good Bloody Mary when the time is right, next time im definately going for a Bloody Ceasar they look Goood!! i do them exactly how you said but without the clam, it must be that magic ingredient ive been looking for, my top tip is use the heart of the celery :)

Some people use horseraddish in there too -- just a killer day drink ;)

The clam juice may sound gross, but wowee does it hit the spot!

you're making steemit a great community with your content thedamus! keep it up!
