yes that's great and cool for bike touring.... but sometimes also sad when you see that in small villages only a handful of people live, and the rest has left. Rural flight is a big problem in many rural places here in Spain.
but my comment was really just referring to riding through vast, open areas. I find that feeling to be really neat. |

I screwed up. This picture I originally posted was not one of the eagle pictures I took in Montana while riding with my with my daughter on the way home from a week long tour with our daughters. My wife caught my error. This picture was taken while we were hiking around a nearby lake. I apologize for the misrepresentation.
We were definitely not on a tour when this picture was taken. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...ab3e309c_c.jpg |
Doug, I'm trying to find a joke somehow connected to that kinda weird expression, "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" , but something along the lines of your grave misrepresentation staying between you and the bird.....
but I'm not being successful!...... |

yes, one sees that in many countries, rural flight. So many times I've wondered how people make a living in some places.

A couple photos of a few friends and I hitting the trail last week. Colder than average temps created both significant frost and fog in the mornings, while a colorful change in the foliage could be seen in the afternoon.

So, what was your intended full route? Vancouver through Kelowna and through to ~Fort MacLeod, perhaps? It's been a long time since I've been in the area, though it was only in a vehicle with frequent stops along the way to hike around and view the beauty in the mountains. |
We intended to join up with the Kettle Valley Railtrail in Midway,then 4 days to Penticton, then either one more day to Osoyoos or 2 or 3 days to Princeton. Definately going back next year. A great deal of these 2 trails takes you away from the roads and through some beautiful country.
