Mist and rain might be the order of your day, but if you were out there now it would be smoke, smoke and more smoke. So you did well.

Thank you Sir. We certainly made memories that day. I could only pray that they get that same weather right now and that it last for weeks. In fact, it was raining so hard in North Vancouver that I could not get a frontal shot of the train before departure. Same on arrival in Whistler!
