Hi everyone this is our last trip that my wife and I did this year it was in September from 1st to the 5th. Our route was from Edmonton to Crowsnests Pass to Nakusp then Revelstoke and finally back home to Edmonotn.

Our first day we didn't any pictures because we had done this route many times, here is a photo of our bike before leaving.

You can only upload a single picture through the forum browse software (that little paper clip at the top of the edit screen), but you can put many links in your posts which directly displays the photos. From smugmug, it appears you go to the "Share" then "Get a Link" at the upper right side. Then click on "Embeddable Links" and click the button to Copy the medium size picture link. This copies the link to the clipboard. Back in the forum, then paste the link from the clipboard back into your post. Include some text between each successive picture and Bob's Your Uncle. At least, that's the way it's supposed to work. You might have to experiment with the size of picture.

First of all Thanks Kurt as you can see I am posting more than 1 photo.

Well day three took us from Crowsnest, AB Pass to Nakusp, BC via the Gray Creek pass in BC, a must do. The pass will not save you any time but the ride is well worth the time detour.

The other ferry

It was a long day of riding to get 423 kms done but well worth it, in the end we get a hotel room in Nakusp and a hot meal at the local restaurant.
