Gordan and Bonita put on a great breakfast for us this morning and many more useful tips for the journey ahead. I would like to thank Gordan and Bonita for their kind hospitality and company.
The first half of the day went well and the rain held off. After lunch on the side of the highway, very scenic, the rain came pouring down and kept on pouring for the rest of the day. We were headed to meet John Worral who as I mentioned is a friend of the Obornes who we stayed with in Merritt. His Cabin was situated 10km west of Salmon Arm and then 20km down a winding lakeside road. The 20km felt like an eternity and we came across the steepest climbs of the trip thus far. When we arrived at the cabin John mentioned that he would have picked us up from the start of that road as it wouldn't have been cheating because it was a detour and not part of the cross Canada route.
The extra 20km of pain was a distant memory as John's cabin was amazing. John had stew in the pot and cold beers in the fridge, so after a hot outdoor shower we tucked into a fine stew and sank a few beers.
