Florida to Alaska

 Greatest harvest host! Sit by the stream and read a book or ride the Kettle Valley Rail trail! Spent 3 days here with our Volmer friends and had a blast. Every night the hosts had campfire and all guests on the property joined in lively conversations. 

 The Kettle valley rail trail goes east to west through BC. It is amazing for mountain biking. We rode 11 km from our campsite to the Myra canyon Provincial park, then rode through tunnels and over trestles. Amazing!!!

 Beautiful winery up the hill from Lake shuswap. We spent our 47th anniversary there. So beautiful! Good wines. Great harvest hosts. Kim made a macrame vase as anniversary  gift. Water fall hikes were amazing Mark and Kim our travel buddies

 Met up with our friends Kim and Mark from Snohomish WA. Sooo great to see them again. Biked up the road 4 miles elevation gain 420 feet and spent time catching up!

 We stopped at Cask and Cleaver brewery for 1 night. Great food and beer  Laundromat on the same block, perfect! The staff was amazing as we parked for the night behind the brewery and next day was an antique car festival. They arranged for us to depart before the road was closed. They also had an amazing dish with beef barbacoa. Yummm

 Beautiful lake country in northern British Columbia. No hiking as trails washed out and it rained which the fire fighters were grateful for.

 Camped 2 nights backed up to a beautiful lake with stunning mountain views. Very relaxing.

 Cassiar highway is narrow, no shoulders and scary fast truck drivers. We stayed at Jade City which has a great selection of jade that has been mined by their family for 3 generations.
