Colin and I ate breakfast at the restaurant by the Skookum Inn this morning. We were on the road by 10:30 AM and we took a picture as we passed the hoodoos.
Our first stop was Kimberly which is a really nice town. We enjoyed some B.C. cherries and used the Internet in the library to type up our blog from day 2. We had lunch in Creston at Della's Place. It was a local restaurant with delicious food. We finally changed our clocks to B.C. time and gained an hour.
Next, we rode the DH1 (Highway 3A but it's rated the nicest highway in B.C.) It was rated 30/30 for turns, twists and curves. It was very windy and was a long ride of leaning left then right then immediately left then immediately right and repeat. Since it was right after lunch, I wondered if I was going to be seeing my lunch again, but I was fine. My favorite part of the highway was the glimpses of Kootenay Lake that I saw through the trees. We enjoyed ice cream while we waited for the next Kootenay Lake ferry.
We took the bike on its first ferry ride. We met two other bikers (from Rocky Mountain House) on the ferry who were also coming to Toad Rock Campground. They were our parents' age as we expected most people to be at the Horizon's Unlimited meeting.
We rode to Toad Rock Campsite by Balfour B.C. and set up camp. Today was our first hot and rain free riding day and it was gorgeous. We enjoyed Day 4 and 5 by going to the Ainsworth hot springs twice, talking to various other bikers (another couple in their 30's), attending seminars and workshops and learning how to bike around the world.
