Day 2

Today we were blessed with beautiful sunshine all day. We had a relaxing day of stopping by fraser lake, lunch in burns lake, and even taking the time for a photo op with the worlds largest fishing pole! In a small town called houston where they also had an electric car charging station!
We finished our day just outside smithers with some family connections again, where Whitney and Wilma made us feel so welcome! Besides the amazing view from their yard , we were treated with moose burgers, apple pie, a canoe ride on a pristine lake surrounded by snow capped mtns and filled with loons, and a campfire to top the eve off. Its as amazing as it sounds .

First day

Today was a long haul from kelowna to prince George bc. Today was the day of hot okanagan sunshine warming our way north.
Oh wait.
No it wasnt.
The day dawned with cool rain that lasted until 70 mile house!!! By time we got there my feet were practically swimming.
But the westside road out of kelowna was a beautiful twisty road where we saw a mother deer and three fauns. I also really liked the canyon like landscpe between kamloops and cache creek. (Despite the rain)
By time we finished lunch in 70mile house the weather cleared slightly and we had some sun as far as williams lake.
Then we drove straight into a black abyss of downpour and winds all the way up to PG.
We arrived safe and sound at my sister in laws family's place where we were treated with a delicious meal, conversation and fantastic hospitality.

It's finally here!!

So del has arrived in kelowna today and we have synced our devices, reviewed what tools we packed and looked at maps. I think we're almost ready! We will hit the road in the am and point our noses north. First stop....prince George.

Annnnd we're off!

Ok. So del is anyway.....he hit the road this am from newton Kansas! I expect to see him Sunday!  Rubber to the ground friend! ( pls see Michelle s comment from previous post)

this trip was planned from that trip.

sadly, two of our mennos can't join us on this one after all. so it's just down to two of us to get our motorcycles to deadhorse and home again.

Del will be leaving kansas soon, and heading north. we will meet here in kelowna, and start our ride together June 24th if everything goes to plan. 

so stay tuned if you care to follow 

stay tuned as Del and I point our motorcycles north and see how far we can get.
