Hey again! Right now I'm at the library in Golden, BC. I've fallen in love with the mountains. It's pretty near impossible to capture the feel, and the magnificence of the place with the camera. I spent most of yesterday hiking up to a glacier and hanging out up high. I was the only person on the trail for the six hours I spent up there. The Okanagan valley was beautiful, in a very different way. The sagebrush in the hills, and the orchards are very different from each other.

I've met so many nice people on the way. Everywhere I go, there are people to spend time with. Jean and Marie-Claire in Osoyoos, Louis who took me in and fed me supper in Revelstoke, Heather and family and friends in Vernon, the Swiss family that fed me breakfast at the campground this morning. (So many thanks to you all).

Camping has been really positive. I've slept lots of strange places, like peach orchards, beaches, and on the mowed patches behind cell-phone towers, and have been eating surprisingly well. No trouble finding places, and no run-ins with irate landowners. Lots of really neat animals - deer, a bear, cool squirrels, birds, marmots. Nothing dangerous.
