The trip has begun for real. We were on the road by 8:35 am. after another official picture taking ceremony at our friends house in Maple Ridge. We would again like to thank Nancy, Gashaw, and Michael for "putting up with us" for 4 nights as we turned your house upside down. Your friendship and support has helped us to begin our adventure. Thanks so much.
Today was quite a nice ride along the Lougheed Hwy through flat agricultural lands bordering the Fraser River. We had a 3 km climb before Agassiz and then an exhilerating fast downhill until the road flattened out again. We are camping at the Pathfinder Motel, RV, and Campground in Agassiz with a pair of Holsteins next door quietly watching us. A 5 km ride to the grocery store and back means we will have a nice chicken stir fry with salad for dinner. Life really is "tough"!!! Our goal tomorrow is to get to the Sunshine Valley area just at the edge of Manning Provincial Park.
