Day 14 - Anarchist Mt. to Midway  59km

Once again a brilliant day!! One last glance of the Okanagan Valley. Goodbye Okanagan, see you in a few months.


When the bike got too uncomfortable another mode of transportation waited for us on the side of the highway. Obviously my horse-back riding skills aren't good enough for Rudolf. James seemed to have more luck. Amazing what a little green treat can do.


 Yeeehaaa!!! Woohoo we made it!

As we were looking for a place to fill our water bottles in Bridesville, Max and Lisa kindly invited us into their home for coffee. They are accomplished musicians and play in a band called "Underpaid Sidemen". Check them out www.youtube.com/use/donlindeman
They serenaded us with one song after another and little Ian provided whatever entertainment he could contribute. Thanks Max and Lisa. It was a pleasure meeting you.

After a super hot afternoon we set up camp just outside of Midway where Jen Hiltz met us with a load of delicious quinoa salad and an amazingly cushy, fuzzy blue chair. Great times!!
 Looking good in the wild!

It's nice to read someone else blog instead of writing ours all the time...I would invite you to my parents house in Nova Scotia but they just sold it....but I know many more people if you need a place to stay!!!

    It was a pleasure meeting you and James also.We read your blog and think what an AWEsome trip you made on the TransCanada last summer.and if you're in need of a rest again,for water or coffee,stop by anytime if you're riding by.
