What?!?!?! Rain??? In Vancouver??? Ugh. Tuesday morning brought a Vancouver drizzle to the start of my day. Fortunately, I was well-rested and heading away from slacker city. As I came into Chilliwack, the rains ceased low clouds lifted some. I finally got to see some mountains!!! And of course, they were spectacular and energizing. It was a good boost to my mood and I got some good shots as well.
And then my climb up to the Okanagan Valley began. Fortunately the 110 km/h speed limit seemed nothing more than a suggestion as BC plated vehicles zoomed past me. By the way, Canadian drivers excel at lane changing, signaling, merging, and overtaking. It made the drive a pleasure.
The Okanagan Valley is an idyllic place of and has a multitude of uses - vineyards and wineries, fruit framing, lumber, recreation, and a whack-load of coffee shops. I lucked in and got an email from a former business associate prior to heading North of Peachland and was able to re-direct to Penticton to meet him for a coffee and to catch up.
The my day took me from the bottom of the valley to the top and the temperatures were in the high 60's/low 70's which meant the top was down and my mood was up. The next few days should be exciting but tiring as there are many miles to cover.
Ah, breaker breaker one nine, come in Smokey. We have a blue TT with expired tags on the loose. Individual last seen wearing a cowboy hat and black moustache while perpetually chewing a piece of gum.
