Get rid of those pesky carpool lane priuses for me -- it takes too long to get to work with them in the way.

I remember in summer of 2007 we went across Canada with the 6.9 and in the Rockies, we pasted a Prius going up the hill lol, we were passing him slowly but surly, he had his windows down and you know these old N/A diesels how badly they smoke in high alltitudes, anyway slowy passing him he looked in his rear view miror and started closing the window lol by the time we were just pasted him, he was outta sight! Lost in thick black smoke 
We were laughing so hard we almost had to pull over and stop.

Yeah, well they aren't always 4 lane highways. Canada is lacking in that area. The "trans canada highway" isn't even 4 lanes all the way across. And thats no fault of RV drivers.
LOL! ok, but I hope your rear bumper can take it
Most of my time is spent on a 4 lane anyway, but there are more isolated highways that can be several hundred miles of mountains, rainforest and only 2 lanes. Pretty spectacular scenery actually.

I never realized you had scenery like the top two pictures in Canada.
Wyoming or Utah would have been my guess.
The rest, that looks very much like the northwest US.

John can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think thats the dessert in the okanagan valley. I haven't been there since I was a kid.
BC has tundra in the far north, grass plains in the middle, coniferous rain forests on the coast, mountains on the coast and the rockies, and a small tip sonoran dessert extends into south eastern BC. The only type of canadian biome that we don't have is vast forests of deciduous trees like can be found in southern ontario and quebec. Although there are still smaller places were maple and alder trees grow like weeds, pine, fir and cedar (like in that pic) are the natural dominant species.
I'd love to see more of the world but I haven't even seen a fraction of my own province.
As they say on the discovery channel, "the world is just awesome!".

Now that I think about it, that might be alberta. John can tell us when he chimes in again.
I agree those a great photos. Wonder if we should start a thread like that.....places seen from behind the wheel of an IDI.

The main differences is that there are fewer people.
