Day 2 - Sept 3rd, 2008 - 341kms Osoyoos, BC to Creston, BC
So today we did A LOT of hills. We thought Day 1 was bad. Today was ridiculous! We got down to 12km/hr coming up an 8% grade hill. I was expecting the engine to die on us but it got us all the way up the 1700 meter plus mountain! We arrived in Creston at around 6:30pm very tired and sore. Got a nice little campground place with an indoor pool which felt like heaven for our aching bodies. Passed about 5 or so deer. Hoping to get to Lethbridge AB tomorrow but we might sleep in.
We got really lucky again and managed to stay in front of the rain clouds for the whole day. Have only been stopping to gas it up after over 150kms. I think we only averaged about 30km/hr today but we're glad we have the mountains behind us now. Anyways Mikes half asleep and I better join him or I'll be even more tired tomorrow.
