After getting off the Island on Friday we stopped in to see family at Point Roberts, Washington. A busy time, good food, great company and a good sleep. On Saturday headed east to the Fraser Valley to meet 2 of my cousins for the very first time. You see I have been dabbling in family history using Ancestry.ca as my main information source. An amazing experience. My cousins were terrific. A day I will remember for a very long time.
We made it to the Okanagan late yesterday and have been on the go ever since. Today Dana and I pedalled a section of the Kettle Valley Rail trail with our niece and family. Amazing experience. It was a warm day with some mosquitoes to contend with. Also, as the day went along the number of people using the trail increased. No matter as there is plenty of room on the trail.
It is Sunday in the Okanagan. It is also Father's Day. The traffic was heavy on all the roads. This part of the Okanagan is growing at a very rapid pace. It is not hard to imagine major infrastructure issues in the coming years. Too many people and too few amenities. Tomorrow we will get an early start to beat some of the traffic. Hope to get some sleep tonight as tomorrow will be a long day.
This a photo from today's pedal on the Kettle Valley Rail Trail. Note the trestle in the background.
