May 24, 2019 - Katanalka Lake to Kwitzel Lake

Time for some miles.  Yesterday wasn't so hot odometer wise.  I was hoping for a bit more.  So today let's get an early start and see what we can do.

Headed north up 97 through Penticton, Kelowna and Vernon.  Another slow slog as none of these cities have bypasses and lots of stoplights.  Oh, and lots and lots of billboards.  The worse was a long slow curve approach to the bridge crossing Okanogan Lake in Kelowna.
Then it's on the TransCanada Highway to Kamloops, back on 97 at Cache Creek, on to Williams Lake.  Fuel at Costco in Prince George then on to a nice gravel pit on Kwitzel Lake.

431 mile today.  Much better.

May 23, 2019- Day 2 - Border Crossing

Got up early.  Mowed the lawn at the cabin.  Then we were on the road.  Picked up some fuel in Omak they headed up US 97 toward the US/Canada border crossing at Osoyoos.  Quite uneventful.  As it should be. :)
From here is was a SLOW slog up 97 to Katanalka Lake BC.  Found a BC Provincial Park that is very nice.  Staff was great, sites were great, included hot showers 
Someone is waiting for dinner.

Friendly Yellow Bellied Marmots abound.
225 miles today.

May 22, 2019 - Day 1 - On the road again.

Greetings everyone.  Well the title says it all.  We are on the road again.  This should be a long, occasionally monotonous, and more frequently exciting trip.
Day 1 had us heading across Washington State on North Cascade Highway (SR20) to the cabin.  We stopped at the summit of Rainy Pass for a quick shot with the snow.

310 miles for the day.
