Another, um, interesting day. Lots of hills. Both up and down. Don't be thinking down is relaxing though, oh no. Nope. Uh-uh. Terrifying isn't relaxing. It also rained and snowed, with a touch of hail. Gotta love the mountains in May. What was fun though was that during our climbing today, for quite sometime we couldn't tell whether we were going uphill, downhill or on a flat stretch. Your mind plays tricks with you. Only after conferring with Warren and Tanya, and looking at our computers were we able to figure what we were doing. Anyhoo, happier thoughts. We saw two moose today. They were serenely standing in a valley by water in Manning Park. Very cool. We stopped to watch them for a minute, then went to get the cameras and they got camera shy. Silly moose moved behind trees and the best we could do was take pictures of their behinds. Then, shortly after that, we saw 5 deer on the opposite side of the road. Apparently we were scary as they all loped off. Had tons of people beeping horns (in a good way!) at us again today.
The total distance for today was 113km. We ended just outside of Princeton. We arrived to find our support vehicle parked at a garage. Apparently they lost power steering earlier in the day. There is much sadness at this turn events. Currently this means the RV will be parked in Princeton until it's fixed. We plan to continue to Oosoyoos with clothes in backpacks and stay in a motel tomorrow night. Hopefully by Saturday, the RV will be fixed and the Taylors' will be able to meet us there. Who knows. We'll remain optimistic.
We came on this trip for adventures and challenges. We found them. Now we get to overcome them.
