Today was very nice and relaxing. I got to stay on Trans Canada 1 the entire day. Trans Canada 1 between Hope and Kamloops reminds me a lot of Route 66. There is a new toll road (Hwy 5) that bypasses this part of Hwy 1 and many of the small towns are starting to fade away. There are so many neat towns that you have to slow down to pass through and many of the businesses are closing down. It is a beautiful drive, but not heavily travelled.
All day was in valleys. There was a ton of one particular crop that I didn't have a clue what it was. It looked like weeds and was 1 to 3 feet tall, but they felt like they needed to water it. Also lots of berries again. I was also surprised by the amount of dairy and beef cattle.
Starting to get a bit used to this metric stuff. When is says that it is going to be 20-26 degrees, that means about 68-80, which is what it was today.
Tomorrow is a different story, it's supposed to be a high of 53 with a low of 38 with a 90% chance of rain in Banff. This will be the third time to be in Banff and the weather has always been the same :( Oh well, the weathermen have been wrong and I'm praying for no rain. I can handle the temps.
I checked into the hotel the same time as 2 other bikers did. We ended up having a steak dinner together across the street. They were both correctional officers at the Headingly Correctional Center in Manitoba. They had some interesting stories!!!
