Hi winds!

Day 4: Total Mile Count: 242 miles. Merritt to Kamloops: 59 miles. Conditions: Dry heat.

Well...where do I start? Today was quite a disapointment. Mama bear had be anticipating an easy ride, 59 miles of rollings hills and plenty of easy coasting downhill. However, that is not what we recieved. Today was absolute torture. On a "quaint" little road through the Nicola Valley with a headwind my mom nor I have ever experienced before. All in all, the miles we did today felt like double that they should have. Again, quite a disapointment.

We stopped for our lunch on a little indian reservation. I must say, it was very eerie. The little log gas station, (the kind you see in old movies) with gas pumps barely reaching your hips. There were two little kids, one sitting in a chair and one on the arm, staring straight ahead not saying anything...other than the chatty worker it was silent. We went swimming there and it was super refreshing. Then my mom locked herself in the bathroom and then got locked into the store :) har har.

Tip of the Day: Stop and smell the flowers.
