Big Red Going Through Banff National Park!!! VERY,VERY BEAUTIFUL

Tomo was assigned a 'new' truck in Anaconda, Montana.  This truck is said to have the best engine of all the trucks in the company's fleet.  Here is Tomo going through Banff National Park was very, very beautiful. 

 Tomo went from Edmonton, Alberta to Vancouver, British Columbia. He drove  down to Calgary, then went up Hwy. 1 and then on to Hwy. 93. Only Hwy. 93 had been closed for a few days due to unpredictable avalanche.  Tomo got to where Hwy 1 and Hwy 93 intersect and it was still closed. He had to sit there for about 4 hours and when it opened up, he hit it hard and got to Vancouver, BC on  Wednesday morning at 6 am. 
Vancouver where my drop was. Had to back around all these vehicles.

Blind back in and down to the dock.
Another shot of the blind back in and down to the dock.
That took him a good 30 minutes to complete.
He dropped his load and then received the next order to head toward Seattle, which his boss gave him the option to go back to Granite Falls (home) for the night if he wanted. So again, he hit it hard to make it in time for Wednesday night meeting. At last contact he is in Granite Falls waiting for the next order.
