A liesurely day off....

Thursday, May 13

NK'MIP Campground

We enjoyed a restful day today. Managed to do the obligatory things like buying groceries and doing some laundry. Took my bike to "Double O Bikes" and left it for the day. Unfortunately the bike shop was 5 km from our campsite so I walked back to the campground and later walked back to pick it up. Just what I needed on a day off, a 10 km hike!!! The bike shop said that the "pothole" I hit (yes BC has them just like Ontario) a few days ago knocked the back wheel out of whack. It is now all "trued up" and ready to "climb".

The day off was good for us "physically" but maybe not "mentally" as the campsite has a perfect view of Anarchist's switch backs. Oh well, tomorrow we face it bright and early!!!
