look where the hudson bay is on the map, the land around it was originally called rupert's land by the british and then the hudson's bay company was created. the fraser river begins in the rocky mountains, it's the largest river in british columbia. the fraser river is really cool up around a place called gang ranch/dog creek, the roads are gravel but generally in good condition. in 2021 we had a heat dome that broke all sorts of records, lytton reached a record canadian high of 49.6C (121F) then the village burned down. ashcroft is the only true desert in canada (by precipitation), it's where the movie "An Unfinished Life" was filmed.
having lived in all those areas at various times, there is no possible way i would do that drive in 1 day even from Chillliwack it would be a silly idea. the Coquihalla is not a happy highway. I would guess this would be quite the culture shock especially if you were educated in the US.
We are used to very long drives so for us, apart from not making it in time for the RV park, it was quite fun. The down side of it to us was that we weren't able to see much of those places but just travelling through and barely stopping. We've made the decision to spend as much time as possible in those areas and take a more paced trip the next time we go there.

Kamloops is located within a high desert which runs from the US southwest all the way north of Kamloops.
Thanks for sharing!

@@steveandnaz those were grasshoppers or crickets, kamloops is the northern extent of rattlesnake range though.
