BC Rambler

Hello All,
It has now been over a week since I last posted a note to you.
I have driven from Denver to Spokane, WA and picked up 7 guests and headed off on my next trip the BC (British Columbia) Rambler. The guests are people I traveled across the country with last summer. What a great group and they are strong and independent riders. We Left Colville, WA and went into Canada very shortly after we left Colville. The Border Guard asked us, one at time, if we had been arrested or in front of a judge. Since most of them are attorneys, they replied, Yes, everyday, I am an attorney". The other Border Guard had a really nice Colnago bike and was interested in talking to us about our trip. No problems at the Border.
We have spent nights in Salmo, Creston, Ainsworth Hot Springs, Nakusp, Vernon, and tonight we are in Kamloops. We get to Whistler in the next couple of days, then on to Vancouver, and back to Colville, WA
We have seen some wonderful and pretty lakes, Kootaney, and some great scenery.
Today, we got into some rugged mountains in the Canadian Rockies. So that means lots of climbing and good fast descents.
I haven't taken many pictures and don't have the resources of another blog to also include photographs. will try to do better with the pictures.
People have been very friendly and what a great place tovisit. This part of British Columbia is struggling with the economic downturn and the loss of mining and logging. Tourism seems to be better in BC than in NS.
What a privilege to lead such a fine group of people in such a beautiful part of the world. Lots of luaghs, support and even aching muscles, but do believe all are having a great time.
