While it was a lovely drive today it was pretty long - about six hours. It was pretty nice to see some of the places we had ridden and to rest the legs while enjoying the beautiful Canadian scenery.
I love how the highway engineers here go out of their way to protect the wildlife. These are crossovers are built over the highway along the migratory path of the animals to keep them safe and out of traffic as they cross the roads. Nicely done Canada!
An engineering marvel, did they use a giant bagel slicer to cut through this section while building the road???
One last look at Castle Mountain from a different perspective.
Wine tasting at the Kettle Valley Winery - nice corkscrew Hilary! We purchased some wine here and as an added bonus they allowed us to pick a few fresh peaches growing right in their orchard.
We wrapped up this day with a lovely dinner, great conversation and a bit of wine with Patti and her cousin Stuart. He lives right in town and Patti met us here on her way to vacation at Mable Lake with the rest of her family. The fresh peaches we picked earlier added to a bit of ice cream made a very tasty dessert. Darn, we ate them all before I could snap a photo!
Thanks for the hospitality Stuart and thank you Patti for giving me the opportunity for one last visit before I head home.
One more entry to go!
