We started the day with an energy packed breakfast from with Karen and Dennis Gobin. It would have been great to stay longer, but with temperatures approaching the 80's ºF (27ºC for younger folk), it was important to get an early start. Thanks for your hospitality and your generous donation!
It has been unseasonably warm the last few days, probably helping to contribute to the flood conditions (they had snow last week!) that we've seen.
We had some amazing views of Shuswap Lake!
With Caroline taking a well deserved day off, we caught up with Ritchie in Sorrento.
We made it past Salmon Arm to the stretch goal of Sicamous (135.2 km).
We booked a campsite at "Joe Schmuck's Roadhouse, Hotel and Campground" and kept our fingers crossed!😊 It turned out to be a really nice spot with only 7 RV spots and 8 camping spots. We were all set up before Ritchie arrived. His Arrival
Once we were all settled in, Lynn and I made our way downtown. Sicamous is a small Tourist town. There are lots of watersports and a lot of snowmobiling in the winter. This is the old Main St. The bridge was removed from this street and a larger bypass one built.
Shuswap Lake is the HouseBoat Capital of the World! You can see about 50 of them here in this harbour and this is just one of many!
Check out the slide at the rear of this large one. Also note the lady with the paddle board in the foreground with her Golden Retriever lying at her feet!!
It was very hot, so Lynn and I stopped at "Licks & Splits Ice Cream". This is a Tiger flavour soft ice cream, mixed with a sampling of crushed Kit Kat! Very satisfying! Not sure what Lynn is doing with "MY" cup!!
Here is a daily routine. Once Ritchie completes his ride for the day, he stretches, showers, changes and re-energizes (feeds his body - he burns ~3000 Calories each day), and then starts planning for the next day(s). He is looking at weather, distance, elevation, how he's feeling (Great so far), road conditions and also strategizing what the next few days will look like.
We have some great neighbours (Bruce and Colleen) from Alberta. They were kind enough to show us through their beautiful Winnebago Grand Tour. What a machine!!
They were also kind enough to make a significant donation to Honour House!! Thank You!
After a great dinner that Lynn made, we had our first campfire! What a beautiful night for sitting out! We've been extremely fortunate weatherize, but this weather won't last forever!
