Last night at Sunshine Valley

Cousin Gary Bischoff picked me up at Tuesdays finish and took me to his home for overnight and we went for pasta dinner with wife Joy and Rod Germaine, a friend of Joy's who has ridden across Canada and gave me some good council wrt the ride I'm doing. Gary decided to drive along with me cycling for yesterday and stay overnight at Sunshine Valley and carry my gear in the car -yippee! It made the day very easy and saved a ton of time including on the nasty n never ending/relentless climb from Hope at 48m elevation to Sunshine Valley at about 800/900m is my guess. Gary reserved a double suite with kitchen and Val showed up about 7pm from Vancouver Island n we had a hot tub b4 Val arrived. Cooked steak n pasta dinner and visited until I crashed on the couch just b4 11pm. Photo is the Hope slide about 4km b4 the motel. Water lilies in the morning.
