I left Clearwater ( a very small town ) in the morning, two trucks pulled over by d.o.t. and a third d.o.t. driving by in the other direction... Then in Kamloops, a brake check crack down, maybe 6 d.o.t. there, a few more cops & d.o.t. in a construction zone just a few miles after that, and a two car speed trap just south of Merrit... ( heavy presence )

They are on a major crackdown around there, usuing a temp gun to take the brake temps. I guess in the last week 10 trucks came off highway 5 with their brakes on fire. (We have logging trucks running around there right now, the dot told him that yesterday)

L.N. ,

I didn't get a chance to get a picture of the new Greyhound terminal in Boston Bar, I was thinking some people on the board might appreciate a picture of it and I know you pass by there often...

I was speechless when I seen it, I'm quite sure a local architect was used as the building seems to fit into the surrounding urban / rural background. The use of natural building materials found locally is also evident.

It looked like the passenger, freight terminals were connected making loading a one-stop deal, I'm sure this is a very energy efficient building as the use of natural lighting, & a/c was apparent, simplicity by design...
