    Definitely a must see, we need to stop and enjoy rather than driving past at high speeds! The note about Benny being strapped in was only a confirmation of what we already assumed, knowing his owners!

      So true! Taking a few minutes to enjoy the journey rather than rushing to the destination is so important 🙂

    Well done video. Doesn’t look like this anymore since the atmospheric rain storm we had in Hope 3 years ago. Have opened up the first part of the tunnels this summer, hopefully the rest will be opened next year.

      Yes, we haven't had the opportunity to go see them since the flood damage! Next year they are supposed to be fully open again, which will be so nice to see.

    Visited the Tunnels on 4 October 2021 as we headed down the Coq from Merritt to Chilliwack. Now we learn the Tunnels are trashed, along with huge stretches of the highway. Tragic.

    • @HomeARoam
      @HomeARoam  3 роки тому

      Yes, sadly the tunnels have experienced extensive damage from the recent flooding. They are normally closed in the winter months because of dangerous conditions from ice and Rock falls, so we're not sure how long it will take for them to be repaired. So unfortunate, too since this summer was the first time they opened back up since covid started. 😟

      Thanks for watching and commenting! Yes, cats much prefer to have their feet firmly planted on a hard surface. There is a link to Benny's backpack in the video description if you are interested. It's technically a backpack, but I often wear it on the front so Benny can face forward.

      Absolutely, we do the same thing with Benny. Also, keep an eye on the pricing for the bag. We've noticed the price fluctuate a lot. So if the price seems a bit nutty when you look the first time, try going back another day and it may have lowered.

      Hi there, it looks like Google thinks Tunnel Road is closed, so it's routing really weird. Try this link: goo.gl/maps/7MgpCkQpJYPmH4hw9 or use the address 67568 Othello Rd, Hope, BC V0X 1L1 -- That will take you right to where Tunnel Road starts. Hope that helps!

      I know! 😟 But they are working on fixing the damage from last year's storms and I'm sure they will be open again soon enough. Thankfully there are some other nice walking trails in the area, including the one that goes beside the Coquihalla river.
