#1: August 14th Sunday bush flight Author: Uhu_Rodion, Location: L'Aquila, ItalyPosted: Sat Aug 13, 2011 11:08 am ---- Strange as it may seem, this time we are going to follow the path of a highway: the part of the Yellowhead Highway running through British Columbia, that is Highway 16. Then, we'll turn to south into Highway 5, up to our destination. In spite of this, you won't see just a strip of asphalt, because you are going to cross an extremely scenic wide valley, with a tortuous river in the middle.
