Happy Summer June 21st Woo!

We all awake to silence, the inebriated people from the night before must be sleeping off their excitement. We are all happy to see that the van is still in one piece as we start re-packing to continue the journey to Chilliwack. For breakfast we stop at an IHOP only to discover that there are only five in B.C. and that might be only five in all of Canada, unless there are some in Ontario. We will have to find out in three provinces. The route through Abbotsford and to Chillwack was a little hairy until we found the North Parallel rode that runs alongside the Highway One. It was a really beautiful ride and the weather was a perfect 24’C and a little overcast. The Tandem bike has to go, it had been decided by both Brett and I that we just can do this anymore, it is the most uncomfortable bike ever and whenever we encounter a hill the gears start slipping all the way up it and we nearly fall over every few feet. I miss my bike, and my super comfortable squishy seat. We have a brief stop over at a Petro Canada in Abbotsford and then make our way to Chilliwack. The biggest challenge of the day is finding a campground that will take tents, which we do not find. Along with a few other RV’ers we camp in the Walmart parking lot. Four people sleep quite comfortably in a Dodge Caravan. The end of one more day in our ten week adventure.
