The tour went South to Lethbridge, then West through the Crowsnest to 
the Okanagan, North along the lakes, vineyards and orchards, eventually 
to Prince George, then home through the Yellowhead, with Mount Robson 
*almost* completely visible, although he still had a wisp of cloud at 
the summit.  WRT the lucky part: we blew a tire about an hour or so 
south of PG, and were faced with the challenge of nursing the miniature 
"spare" at 60KM along the shoulder of the highway.  We made it into a 
wee town about 15 minutes later, and found someone who knew a chap who 
could fix flats at home, on Sunday!  Better than that, on the outskirts 
of PG, I noticed a sign saying the drive-in cinema was open, so Mrs 
Patchmeister and I saw "Captain America" at what is surelt the most 
Northerly and still operating drive-in cinema anywhere!

Cheers.

Colin
