Well as all good things must come to an end, I am currently heading home due to shortage of funds. Im dissapointed that i did not make California, but it will have to wait till another time. After Alaska, we stopped in Kluane Nat. Park and did some white water rafting, which ended up being a really good time. We stayed at the lodge wear the guide's stay after for quite a few drinks and had a pretty cool encounter with a grizzly bear, that was getting a little close to camp for comfort, but when the beast stood up on it's hind legs and seen what he was messing with (me) he scampered off. From there we wasted no time heading south to Vancover Island. Here we spent a few nights in Tufino kickin it on the beach, we also went somewhere along the west coast trail and spent a few nights camped on the beech. This has been a good end to the trip for instaed of hiking all day into the bush, we simpily drank on the beech. Last weekend we met up with Vern's old friend, and had a pretty good time. We went on a big zip line adventure, that took us all through the forest. This was exceptionaly cool, because we decided to do it at night. Pretty intence. We also went sailing for an afternoon on the sail boat that pretty much just got abandoned at the harbour. So it's wesnday now, and we're just outside of regina. I expect to be home this weekend. It's been a really fun trip, the bus has truly been magic, for it's come over 25000km and given me no trouble....well very little trouble, and the weather has been great the entire trip. Thanks everyone for reading my blog, glad people have enjoyed it. Tune in next year when I hitch-hike to South America.

Zach - glad to see you are alright. Your mother will give you the gears about not keeping in touch (p.s. so will Aunt Kate!). Sorry that you have to end your trip early but what a fantastic adventure you have had. Your pictures are amazing and I would love to see the entire collection once you're home and can tell us all the details. Congratulations on taking a risk and following your dreams!
