The Hope Princeton Road

"It's always at sunset, the Hope Princeton Road, you come to mind and that lightens my load..." So sings the great Canadian folksinger James Keelaghan in a song named after this long stretch of road through southern BC. My Skies, its album, won a Juno Award in 1994. The Hope Princeton is a stretch of highway with high looping turns and runaway lanes. Last weekend we saw it in an early spring evening with a dusting of snow on the trees.
