Mom and Sadie looking at the dam |
We were looking forward to eating Washington cherries going up the road, but none of the fruit stands were open yet. They all seem to open around the third week in June.
Our next significant waypoint was the Canadian border. After months of planning, getting passports together, reading up on border crossing, double-checking that we had no fruits, veggies, or uncooked meats, we made it across. It took 2 minutes, a scan of our passports, 8 or 10 easy questions, and we didn't even get our passports stamped.
Rest stops aren't the same in Canada as they are in the US. We ended up stopping at a small visitors center in Summerland, where we all had to "rest". There, the helpful attendant reminded us of the local legend of the Ogopogo! The Ogopogo is the Canadian version of the Loch Ness monster. Fun stuff and Sadie made up songs about the Ogopogo the entire way up the road.
The view from the Riverland Inn, Kamloops |
We ate supper at the Boston Pizza in Merritt, BC (Americans eating Italian Pizza, with a Boston flare, in Canada... go figure). We spent the night at the Riverland Inn in Kamloops. The hotel was a little dated, but clean, and obvious the owners were trying to build a great place. I'd stay there again.
PS. While riding we saw several deer and three moose (Sarah and Sadie were so happy)!!!
