The ups and downs.

Day 5: Total Mile Distance: 313 miles. Kamloops to Salmon Arm: 70 miles. Conditions: Hot with slight headwinds.

Today was an easy ride, mainly small hills with the occasional climb. However we had a headwind for almost the whole day. Absolutely nothing interesting happened... I left my bag in wallmart last night and it actually ended up getting returned. So that was the highlight of my morning. We stopped at a little road side town called Pritchard, with a small convenience store with a connected gas station and a interesting bridge. We've realized that these towns are getting more and more less...impressive, to say the least.

In the past few blogs i've been talking about stupid things my mom does...but today she managed to get off without doing anything mildly embarrasing. Which makes this post more boring than usual. (jokes..) We saw a train, which I waved at, and it blew its horn and scared us half to death. But other than that, today was scratch-free!

So far we've been very unimpressed with the wildlife out here, we saw a deer yesterday on a hill, and a deer the day before on the Coquihalla, but other than that nothing. Until today, there was two strange animals in longer grass that looked like a combination of a squirrel and a rat. Very odd... still am not sure what it was.

Tip of the Day: Don't break your iPod on day one, it makes for a very boring day two and three.
