Vancouver to Ottawa - Day 1

Well, I will never trust Weather Canada again. I drove through about 3 blizzards. In all, I drove about 13 hours and 1,200 kilometers. I am just east of Calgary in a little town called Brooks. I will upload some picks of my drive as soon as dropbox uploads my photos.

It is really hard to take pictures while you are driving, especially in a blizzard. I did not want to stop as I have so far to travel before I sleep.
