North of the Border

Note:  Running into issues with wifi and will have to add pictures later. Sorry!


We crossed over and are now riding on the Canadian leg of our trip. We met up with our friends and a new friend Brad, one day of down time to regroup and we were off again!

We rode the day through the mountains with some real good "Thelma and Louise" turns and some beatiful sweeping turns. Stopped in Merritt for a fabulous breakfast at Lynda's Cafe (highly recommend) and we were off agin through Lilooet, over the Thompson and Fraser Rivers.

This country is beautiful, majestic, gentle and harsh at the same time. Often times we have said to each other "can you imagine discovering this land or travelling it before there were roads?"

We have seen some real beauty along the way, beauty in many different forms but beautiful none the less.

We stopped in Pemberton for the night, meeting up with an up with an old friend of Larry's, Maurice, who went to school and travelled out west with Larry.  We celebrated Larry's birthday with a great meal at the local Chinese restaurant and back to the motel for a few drinks.

Maurice does special order metal work for new homes and other projects. Here is a couple of pictures of some light fixtures and sconces he made for a community gathering hall in Pemberton. Amazing!

Off to Powell River today, through Whistler...looks like it is going to be another beautiful day!
