This terrible photo shows my lodgings just outside Vernon. At 4pm I had nowhere to stay so I made a speculative phone call to the Krofts, Warm Showers hosts. Two hours later I was tucking into burgers and sipping berry ciders while shooting the breeze with this delightful family. They let me sleep in their gazebo, went to bed very contented!
A typical evening's camp - fairly rubbish food, noodles, peanut butter sandwiches, just to get some fuel in the tank. If camping alone I bring out my secret weapon, my special luxury of a speaker. Mazzy Star, Dexter Gordan and Kendrick Lamar have helped stave away the loneliness!
Preparing to ride through a snow shelter on the way up to Roger's Pass. Back light attached and a prayer that I won't encounter too many huge trucks/RVs!
Staying in a hostel in Golden, right next to the railroad. Woken a few times by the rumbling of passing trains but, in yet another great act of Canadian hospitality, cycle tourists camp for free in the garden. Fantastic conversations with other travellers and useful advice picked up for the road ahead. Current plan is to divert north to the Icefields Parkway and take a look at the glacial landscapes.
