Hotter

Things are warming up. We are in Cache Creek, just west of Kamloops. This is sand and sagebrush country. Aside from the blue skies and the occasional irrigated field everything else is varying shades of brown. High is 33C+.
Just got back from a nice long dip in the pool and we are washing the chlorine taste from our mouths with Gin and tonic. The gin is necessary to kill any residual bacteria that the chlorine did not get.
Had a small bit of excitement last night in Valemount. We went for a walk to get some photos of a plant called horsetail. Heard a big snort as a moose took off down the trail just ahead of us. The only part of he, she or it that we saw were the fresh tracks it left as it ran away.

Today's drive was good. Sunny & warm, minimal traffic and lots of great scenery. Drove past the only visible glacier on Route 5 south. It is located about 20 miles south of Valemount and neither one of us can remember the name of it. Arrived in Cache Creek in time to do some grocery shopping at the local "grocery mart". Limited volume but had one of just about anything.
Leaving tomorrow am to travel up Route 97 towards Prince George. Plan to spend a few days in the Barkerville area just being tourists.
Will keep you posted whenever internet is available.

Quote of the day:


Slow down and enjoy life. Its not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.
