Sunday, July 24, 2011 Kathy gets a good nights sleep, and her cold is getting better. We found that REI opened at 10, so planned to go there first, risking a later start than we’d like, and go from there. Forgetting that it was Sunday, we discovered they don’t open until 11. Kathy convinced me it was worth waiting for, so we crossed the parking lot and ate breakfast at Starbucks. REI gave up a Gore-tex rain jacket, a rainproof wide brim hat, and a new set of binoculars as an early birthday present! I can’t wait to try them out on the island!
We crossed into Canada about 11:30, into the edge of Abbottsford, and onto the Trans-Canada 1 highway. Up through the Fraser River Canyon, with a very muddy river flowing fast and high. Up and down, Williams Lake, Cache Creek, fnally, FINALLY Quesnel, and the TraveLodge, right on Hwy 97/Front St. Walk along the Fraser River Riverwalk.
No cell phone access all day.
