What a fabulous day! (actually, all the days have been fabulous). We needed an early start because of the weather (heat....can you believe it). We decided to try Joe Schmuck's Roadhouse on a recommendation from others. It was excellent.
My girl got a little bit "frisky" there!
This is Bruce & Colleen, great down to earth folks. We wish we could have spent more time with them.
The downside to today was that Caroline woke up in the night with a sore knee, she was planning on riding today, but wisely took the day off).
We did the normal routine of Ritchie getting on the road while we readied the RV for departure. It's always amazing how far he gets before we head out.
One of the places I have wanted to go since I was a kid was Craigellachie, location of the Last Spike, (probably because it contained my surname). We pulled into the site and who was there to greet us?? Our caped crusader (okay, no cape)!

We drove ahead and pulled over at this scenic spot with the Chateau Three Valley Gap Hotel across the lake. We waited for Ritchie for his fuel stop . If you look closely you can see the whitecaps on the lake. Unfortunately, Ritchie was heading into this wind.
What a beautiful and scenic town (damn the stoplight! I need photoshop!)
The stretch goal today was Canyon Hot Springs. We booked a site in the RV camp there. How do you like our view?
Wave to the girls!
Today's Ride.
He has ascended 6400 M or over 19,000 ft.....or almost 4 miles)!
WOW!!
And.......... he is slightly ahead of schedule!
And..........we are having a GREAT time!!!
Funny thing. I was using Google maps trying to predict your next stop and my guess was Canyon Hot Springs. You are traveling a beautiful part of the country and Ritchie's stamina amazes me. By the way, I'm glad to see you are finally beginning to speak a little metric. Ritchie and Caroline must be a good influence. Enjoy every kilometer.
