ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What is it really like to drive the Coquihalla Highway in the middle of a BC winter storm? And what happens when the story moves from dangerous roads to strange lights in the sky?
Captain Jordan, also known as Gwa Gwa — “Come Out From Underneath” — a Heiltsuk elder, shaman and Master Mariner, shares his firsthand experiences driving tour buses through British Columbia's notorious Coquihalla Highway — the road made famous by the television series Highway Thru Hell.
From Hope to Merritt and on toward Sun Peaks, Jordan remembers whiteouts, brutal mountain weather, steep descents, snowplows, wrecks, breakdowns and the people who kept this dangerous highway moving.
But there is another side to this journey.
The region has long fascinated Jordan because of stories involving UFOs, unexplained lights and alien encounters. During one of his trips to Sun Peaks, Jordan experienced an encounter of his own — an experience he describes as an alien abduction.
This is not just a story about a highway. It's a firsthand journey through extreme winter driving, unexplained encounters and memories from a lifetime spent travelling British Columbia.
Some legends are told. Others are lived.
