WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.920 Linus wants the Sony FW900 CRT monitor, but it's super expensive 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 00:00:10.440 --> 00:00:13.880 so I'm gonna drive from Vancouver to Alkford to go get one and 00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.200 I guess I'm taking you with me 00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:21.400 Let's go. All right before we go. We got to say 00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:24.160 Goodbye to Luke and Linus 00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:29.000 Bye, I hope one day people make furry out of me and of course 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 00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:41.820 and you All right, it's super early. Let's go. Our first stop is 00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:46.400 Princeton I'm not showing you where I live. I'm not falling for it 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.200 Welcome to beautiful Princeton 00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.880 It's cold We're like two hours in so 00:00:56.040 --> 00:01:01.760 10 plus hours to go All right, this is Headley, BC 00:01:03.160 --> 00:01:05.160 Which interesting fact 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 00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:17.600 Because I don't know any other facts than than that. So 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 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 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:32.400 And that was that was a bummer so 00:01:34.520 --> 00:01:39.800 Yeah, wow, that is interesting. All right, carrying on. This is Carameas 00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:44.520 Fruit stand country. It is a bunch of fruit stands and vineyards 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:50.040 All in this little valley And it's beautiful out here 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:05.360 Now this beautiful city 00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:09.560 Was discovered in 1904 by the Germans 00:02:10.320 --> 00:02:16.580 And they called it Suius which means a whales vagina 00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:22.120 No, there's no way that's correct 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 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:38.000 So the reason that Grand Forks is called Grand Forks is because back in the day 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 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 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 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 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:04.920 which is my favorite town on this drive because of 00:03:05.480 --> 00:03:09.360 The cheapest gas in BC for some reason in this 00:03:10.760 --> 00:03:13.360 Super small town in the middle of nowhere 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 00:03:19.640 --> 00:03:22.840 Welcome to Creston. Yeah, they made a lot of these towns might look 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 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 00:03:35.780 --> 00:03:39.260 And on the other side of it for our next stop yak 00:03:42.380 --> 00:03:46.300 Which is a pretty small town on the highway, there's a 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 00:03:54.660 --> 00:04:01.020 Welcome to Cranbrook lovingly known as the gateway to the Rocky Mountains 00:04:02.060 --> 00:04:05.140 The interesting fact is I used to live here for many years 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 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 00:04:23.660 --> 00:04:30.700 beautiful Ferney BC a ski town nestled just before the Alberta BC border 00:04:31.060 --> 00:04:34.540 It's a little snowy, so I don't really have too much of a view 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 00:04:40.540 --> 00:04:46.100 I recommend Ferney fog liqueur or Ferney brewing. What the Huck beer? 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 00:04:53.660 --> 00:04:57.580 It is home to the world's largest truck 00:04:58.820 --> 00:05:01.220 Odd claim to fame I know 00:05:01.900 --> 00:05:04.380 But it's big. I would say it's at least like I don't know 00:05:05.540 --> 00:05:07.860 It's probably like 40 line assist all it's huge 00:05:08.860 --> 00:05:10.860 So there's your interesting fact about Sparwood 00:05:11.940 --> 00:05:16.300 All right, we finally made it to Alkford We're gonna go find where 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 00:05:20.620 --> 00:05:22.620 I just parked because I like to the view 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 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 00:05:47.140 --> 00:05:50.820 Love for any brewing. All right, let's try one of these out 00:05:54.660 --> 00:05:56.660 What happened 00:06:03.220 --> 00:06:05.220 All right, here we are in Moyet 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 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 00:06:21.340 --> 00:06:25.660 Bye Moyet That down there is Castlegar 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 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 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 00:06:45.220 --> 00:06:50.180 Yeah, like that, but do like a little bit more opaque Yeah, yeah, just like that 00:06:51.180 --> 00:06:55.820 Christina Lake another small little vacation town 00:06:56.660 --> 00:07:00.540 Beautiful though in the summer lots of boats out here in the winter 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 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 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 00:07:20.180 --> 00:07:24.340 Or if this is just still old like even all these appliances. There's a saloon 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 00:07:30.340 --> 00:07:34.580 That Greenwood has the best tap water or like the cleanest tap water 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 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 00:07:51.140 --> 00:07:54.580 It's got a gas station, you know, not bad and 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 00:08:05.380 --> 00:08:10.060 See the next stop is Rock Creek All right, we're in Rock Creek 00:08:10.380 --> 00:08:13.300 We got the map here where we're headed 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 00:08:21.580 --> 00:08:26.380 Hope is up next Welcome to hope 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 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 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 00:08:44.620 --> 00:08:47.180 That I'm doing right now that usually only takes about nine hours 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 00:08:55.060 --> 00:08:58.020 with no food no water no blanket in 00:08:59.220 --> 00:09:06.060 November and it was freezing and scary, but I survived and still posted the WAN Show 00:09:06.340 --> 00:09:08.740 Podcast and elm tree clips because you know, I'm a star 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 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 00:09:23.300 --> 00:09:25.300 Either way check it out 00:09:36.060 --> 00:09:38.060 Me 00:09:39.260 --> 00:09:41.260 Don't let
