“We met more of our friends and we went crazy,” Stewart said. “Those were the wildest nights of the trip.”
They spent the next two days in Whistler, B.C. They had some mechanical trouble with the brakes, but were able to keep going. They saw more friends and sights in and around Whistler. On the eighth day, they arrived in Vancouver and bottomed out the RV in the driveway of Scodnick’s mom’s place. They stayed there for three days and went canoeing on the ocean.
“It was badass,” Andrighetti said.
Scodnick stayed with her mom while Stewart and Andrighetti continued the trip. They drove to Banff National Park and camped at Revelstoke for the final night before dropping off the RV in Calgary.
The buddies did a lot of outdoors adventures along the way. They saw numerous spectacular views of lakes and mountains and rivers and waterfalls. They hiked trails to scenic vistas and brought their bikes and peddled several routes. They swam in cold lakes during the day and settled around campfires with beers at night. Each day, the three friends took a dashboard camera group photograph. They did something different every day, sometimes dressing up in themes.
“We started it on the first day and kept it going to document our trip,” Scodnick said. “It shows a lot. We had no real plan and just went with it, and we had nothing but fun because of that.”
There is no one single memory that stands out more than any other for these friends. They took the time and savoured every moment they had together, and, in doing so, made each second count with one another and made every experience epic. They did all agree when they were all on a huge fallen tree suspended over a roaring waterfall, was a memory that will never fade.
“It was breath-taking, heart-racing and our lives were in the balance,” Stewart said. “It’s something you don’t forget.”
