Driving from Flood Hope Road to Somewhere Else Cafe, Hope BC

[@lesleyh2007]

I spent over 10 years patrolling this highway from 1974 with the RCMP on General Duty then Highway Patrol. I remember every curve and it seems so very familiar. I can almost feel every bump in the road I knew it so well back then. So many serious accidents happened on this road plus the Hope Princeton Highway #3. My first posting with the RCMP was to Hope. Good memories and a great community who really supported the RCMP. I was there when Sylvester Stallone filmed “First Blood”. Met my wife in Hope. Great memories.

Wow, thankyou for sharing your story:) Beautiful highway, i really miss living in hope….

@@bseenature9157 Yes Hope holds a special place in our family history. As I said before, my first posting of a 38 year RCMP career, plus my wife and I had our three children all born in Hope. Our total beginnings were done in this town. Needless to say we have deep ties to this place.

lesleyh2007 if I moved to Hope from the USA and only ride a 150CC Scooter on the roads would the authorities honor my motorcycle endorsement license? here in Wisconsin, if you ride a scooter that has an engine that is over 49CC in size you must have a motorcycle endorsement.

@@StuG-pr9tf If you are just visiting Hope in Canada then your home Drivers Licence applies in British Columbia as per the rules of your home state. If you move to Hope with a permanent address there then you must get a BC Drivers Licence within 6 months and our rules apply. Our Motorcycle licence is a class 6 operators licence. Small motorized moped are exempt from requiring a class 6. I hope this helps you.

I thought that Somewhere Else is in Dogwood. Of course it is.

[@bseenature9157]

Yup it sure is

[@jimmitchell1094]

One of the busiest truck stops in BC at one time. Then called the Dogwood.

[@bseenature9157]

Really!!! It’s never seen it busy heck barely see any trucks there now
