Sleeping à la belle étoile

Spending the night outside by Pemberton

It’s nice to be in Whistler, but we need to find a place to spend the night. So we get back in the car and drive in direction of the Lake. I assume that there must be a place where we can park the car and put the tent for the night. Not only we don’t find any, but all the small roads going in the mountains are closed so we end up driving about 30km and arrive in Pemberton.

The sun is going down and we don’t have much time before it gets dark, so when I see a sign indicating “Properties Lots for sale” I immediately pull off the main road. I have a good feeling about it. After driving around in a maze of little roads, all going to houses, we finally found one that goes “nowhere”. Which is exactly what we want. And we’ll find a perfect spot to spend the night (photo above) with a view on the mountains.

Fire camp by Pemberton

It’s getting dark and cold so we start a fire and wait for the stars to appear. Adrian will spend the night in the car while I will sleep à la belle étoile. I only remember seeing so many stars in the sky in Argentina. It’s beautiful. Cold but beautiful. So beautiful that I won’t even bother to pitch the tent.
