....and the days start getting shorter June 22 :o)

It was a great relief to find out that none of the four of us snore, or perhaps I was just so tired that I didn't notice. However we did wake up to realize that the Starbucks across the street from our "campsite" has wireless internet! Over some coffee and tasty breakfast items we start blogging.... this is actually my first blogging experience and it is definitely...interesting. Anyhoo, once we have all satisfied our caffeine addictions we head back over to the van aka the SS Enterprise, to begin organizing ourselves for the trip from Chilliwack to Hope. Now that Brett and I are back on our own bikes the ride is really fantastic. However now we have to pack the hideous Tandem into the van. Oh my goodness will it be a huge relief when that is returned to its owners.

We take every opportunity to snap pictures of ourselves and the "Super Natural" BC landscape as we ride by. Every thing flows smoothly until we reach Hope, actually just past it. When Brett's spoke broke, however we did meet a fellow gathering bottles and cans along side the highway that was delighted to inform us that he made twenty thousand dollars last year, simply collecting bottles and cans. He also mentioned that he found ten thousand dollars American in the ditch in a plastic bag, hmmmm.... he definitely was a bit odd. The can man soon takes off on his electric bicycle and Kelly and Brett continue to attempt to replace the broken spoke but none of us have ever done this before. After some frustrating attempts we decide to head back down into Hope and wait until tomorrow when the bike shop opens. The campground we end up in is really nice, we have a spot right by the river, which allows us all a chance to relax and think about what tomorrow might bring...as well as try out the new camp stove, it works great! However the thingy that connects the propane is stuck and I'm unsure as to how we are going to get it out... oh well we'll figure something out tomorrow.
