1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,920
Linus wants the Sony FW900 CRT monitor, but it's super expensive

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:10,160
And they have to ship the 200 pound beast which costs even more money and of course adds risk of breaking

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,880
so I'm gonna drive from Vancouver to Alkford to go get one and

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,200
I guess I'm taking you with me

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,400
Let's go. All right before we go. We got to say

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,160
Goodbye to Luke and Linus

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,000
Bye, I hope one day people make furry out of me and of course

8
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:36,720
Goodbye to the second furry Luke and Linus. Wish me luck on the travels. I'm doing it for you. All right. I'm doing it for you

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,820
and you All right, it's super early. Let's go. Our first stop is

10
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,400
Princeton I'm not showing you where I live. I'm not falling for it

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,200
Welcome to beautiful Princeton

12
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,880
It's cold We're like two hours in so

13
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:01,760
10 plus hours to go All right, this is Headley, BC

14
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,160
Which interesting fact

15
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:13,240
When I'm editing this cut in and mention an interesting fact about Headley that's not about the band Headley

16
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,600
Because I don't know any other facts than than that. So

17
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:23,520
Interesting fact here. Your interesting fact is that as soon as I finished recording that I got in my car and

18
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:29,000
Found out that I forgot my wallet back home. So the rest of the drive didn't have a wallet

19
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,400
And that was that was a bummer so

20
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,800
Yeah, wow, that is interesting. All right, carrying on. This is Carameas

21
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:44,520
Fruit stand country. It is a bunch of fruit stands and vineyards

22
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:50,040
All in this little valley And it's beautiful out here

23
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,360
Now this beautiful city

24
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,560
Was discovered in 1904 by the Germans

25
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:16,580
And they called it Suius which means a whales vagina

26
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,120
No, there's no way that's correct

27
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:32,240
I'm sorry, I was trying to impress you. Oh, I don't know what it means

28
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,000
So the reason that Grand Forks is called Grand Forks is because back in the day

29
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,280
There used to be a shortage of silver and other metals which made things like utensils a rare

30
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:49,680
Like thing to have and became really expensive So that's why I got the the kind of given name of Grand Forks and eventually became the official name

31
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:57,200
Because of really expensive utensils and that's real go look it up I will wait for you right here. Go look it up on Wikipedia search Grand Forks, BC

32
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:02,280
You'll see that it's named that because of expensive utensils. We are now stopped in Salmo, BC

33
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,920
which is my favorite town on this drive because of

34
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,360
The cheapest gas in BC for some reason in this

35
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,360
Super small town in the middle of nowhere

36
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,920
And that's the only fact I have because I never do anything here other than stop at this specific gas station and then leave

37
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:22,840
Welcome to Creston. Yeah, they made a lot of these towns might look

38
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:29,660
Very similar and they are kind of similar a lot of them are produce towns and farms and vineyards, but

39
00:03:30,580 --> 00:03:35,780
Creston's got this beautiful mountain and we're gonna just drive right around it through there

40
00:03:35,780 --> 00:03:39,260
And on the other side of it for our next stop yak

41
00:03:42,380 --> 00:03:46,300
Which is a pretty small town on the highway, there's a

42
00:03:47,060 --> 00:03:53,660
Sweet ice cream shop called two scoop steves where they have goats, but the real star of yak is of course

43
00:03:54,660 --> 00:04:01,020
Welcome to Cranbrook lovingly known as the gateway to the Rocky Mountains

44
00:04:02,060 --> 00:04:05,140
The interesting fact is I used to live here for many years

45
00:04:05,140 --> 00:04:10,540
But the more interesting fact is that this was a prize on Jeopardy was a vacation to Cranbrook

46
00:04:17,460 --> 00:04:22,180
In no offense to Cranbrook, but I don't know but they do have those gorgeous mountains

47
00:04:23,660 --> 00:04:30,700
beautiful Ferney BC a ski town nestled just before the Alberta BC border

48
00:04:31,060 --> 00:04:34,540
It's a little snowy, so I don't really have too much of a view

49
00:04:35,060 --> 00:04:40,540
But it is a beautiful ski town full of hippies and a great distillery if you're of legal drinking age

50
00:04:40,540 --> 00:04:46,100
I recommend Ferney fog liqueur or Ferney brewing. What the Huck beer?

51
00:04:46,820 --> 00:04:53,420
10 out of 10 This is Sparwood now Sparwood actually has something interesting and I promise I'm not lying

52
00:04:53,660 --> 00:04:57,580
It is home to the world's largest truck

53
00:04:58,820 --> 00:05:01,220
Odd claim to fame I know

54
00:05:01,900 --> 00:05:04,380
But it's big. I would say it's at least like I don't know

55
00:05:05,540 --> 00:05:07,860
It's probably like 40 line assist all it's huge

56
00:05:08,860 --> 00:05:10,860
So there's your interesting fact about Sparwood

57
00:05:11,940 --> 00:05:16,300
All right, we finally made it to Alkford We're gonna go find where

58
00:05:16,860 --> 00:05:20,620
This monitor is it's not here. Don't worry. I'm not doxing. I'm gonna go find them

59
00:05:20,620 --> 00:05:22,620
I just parked because I like to the view

60
00:05:23,660 --> 00:05:32,940
Alright that took a long time. It was a long drive, but we got the the monitor and now we're heading back to Vancouver

61
00:05:39,180 --> 00:05:45,380
I couldn't I couldn't stay away. All right, I stopped in Fringes to admire the view and that's where it begins

62
00:05:47,140 --> 00:05:50,820
Love for any brewing. All right, let's try one of these out

63
00:05:54,660 --> 00:05:56,660
What happened

64
00:06:03,220 --> 00:06:05,220
All right, here we are in Moyet

65
00:06:06,340 --> 00:06:11,740
You can't really see it, but it's a lake town really small really just so small

66
00:06:12,420 --> 00:06:19,500
Nothing there But obviously we can't really see it. So I'm gonna put some photos here and here and the third one right here

67
00:06:21,340 --> 00:06:25,660
Bye Moyet That down there is Castlegar

68
00:06:25,900 --> 00:06:33,700
lovingly known as Cancelgar by the residents in the Kootenays as for some reason this little town has an airport

69
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:38,580
But it is always so foggy that all flights pretty much get cancelled all of the time

70
00:06:39,180 --> 00:06:44,420
It's actually not foggy right now, which is which is weird, but just imagine it grayer

71
00:06:45,220 --> 00:06:50,180
Yeah, like that, but do like a little bit more opaque Yeah, yeah, just like that

72
00:06:51,180 --> 00:06:55,820
Christina Lake another small little vacation town

73
00:06:56,660 --> 00:07:00,540
Beautiful though in the summer lots of boats out here in the winter

74
00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:07,540
Just plain pretty The interesting fact Christina Lake is that there's a big rock slide right there on the way

75
00:07:08,060 --> 00:07:12,580
Here I had to wait in line forever and I will probably be doing that again now

76
00:07:13,420 --> 00:07:19,580
All right, we're here in Greenwood, which is like an old an old themed town. I don't I don't really know why towns are themed

77
00:07:20,180 --> 00:07:24,340
Or if this is just still old like even all these appliances. There's a saloon

78
00:07:25,380 --> 00:07:30,100
But your fact for Greenwood is that for some reason I'm convinced that I read an article or heard somewhere

79
00:07:30,340 --> 00:07:34,580
That Greenwood has the best tap water or like the cleanest tap water

80
00:07:35,540 --> 00:07:39,140
I refuse to do research and find out if that's true. So take it as fact

81
00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:45,940
We're about to drive through midway You know usually stop and give you a fact. So I thought I'd give you your facts about midway

82
00:07:51,140 --> 00:07:54,580
It's got a gas station, you know, not bad and

83
00:07:56,300 --> 00:08:02,100
We've already driven through it. So that was midway. I didn't want to stop for literally a gas station

84
00:08:05,380 --> 00:08:10,060
See the next stop is Rock Creek All right, we're in Rock Creek

85
00:08:10,380 --> 00:08:13,300
We got the map here where we're headed

86
00:08:14,260 --> 00:08:20,620
So we got we're on creek there's midway and how small it is a see you's caramious Princeton

87
00:08:21,580 --> 00:08:26,380
Hope is up next Welcome to hope

88
00:08:26,580 --> 00:08:31,300
Hope I always forget about hope. I almost drove right through hope until I wasn't need to stop

89
00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:37,820
My fun fact about hope is that this is just outside of where I got stuck in the hope floods

90
00:08:38,380 --> 00:08:44,620
Where there are rock sides and floods that got me trapped and it took me 27 hours to get home on this drive

91
00:08:44,620 --> 00:08:47,180
That I'm doing right now that usually only takes about nine hours

92
00:08:48,220 --> 00:08:54,540
And yeah, it was it was horrible. It was really just dreadful. So now whenever I think I hope I get PTSD about being stuck

93
00:08:55,060 --> 00:08:58,020
with no food no water no blanket in

94
00:08:59,220 --> 00:09:06,060
November and it was freezing and scary, but I survived and still posted the WAN Show

95
00:09:06,340 --> 00:09:08,740
Podcast and elm tree clips because you know, I'm a star

96
00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:16,340
All right, we made it back safely all the way from Elkford, BC to here in Vancouver and this baby's looking great

97
00:09:16,340 --> 00:09:22,880
So make sure to check out the full video either now. I don't know when I'm finished editing this or next week some other time

98
00:09:23,300 --> 00:09:25,300
Either way check it out

99
00:09:36,060 --> 00:09:38,060
Me

100
00:09:39,260 --> 00:09:41,260
Don't let
