I had a blast Thursday-Sunday spending time with friends. Thursday and Friday I was in Cawston, BC visiting with Cynthia who I met in 2017 at a hostel in Panama. I haven’t seen her since we crossed paths riding in Mexico in 2019. She lives in a cute little cabin in the middle of an apple orchard in the Okanagan Valley - a region in BC known for its abundance of fruits and wineries. It’s very dry and arid with surrounding mountains and lakes. Quite a beautiful place! I enjoyed hanging out with Cynthia and her friends, sipping cider and enjoying the space. We even went on a little ride on Friday up a dirt road along a river to visit a wild apple tree she had discovered earlier that spring. The scenery was amazing back there and the weather was perfect. We got back before the afternoon heat was picking up so the timing of the morning ride was perfect! Thanks Cynthia for the hospitality and I hope our paths cross again in the near future!
Saturday I crossed back into the US at Osoyoos and rode back to Stoney and Nicole’s in Puyallup. This is where Ken and I had met up a month ago to start the adventure north. Nicole and Owen were in Idaho visiting friends so it was just me and Stoney this time. We got a round of golf in on Sunday and I hit the road again on Monday morning. Thanks Stoney and Nicole for the place to stay and visit!
