The Long Way North

 

Day 2

We left camp this morning at about 8AM after some great coffee from our coffee bar. Sleeping out under the stars was so great we are doing it again.

We were going to go to Spences Bridge however when we hit Okanagan Lake it was too awesome to keep going. So, at 280 miles we pulled off at a Canadian government camp.

It is a very popular place, and you need to book online months ahead. Well Boyd and I started charming the two women in the check in station. First thing Boyd did was complement one of them on her fingernails. They were done up and they looked fantastic.

Well by the time we got done we got a fantastic place that they had reserved for someone else and was the best spot in the campground. People are supposed to check in by 3pm or contact them to let them know they will be late. These people had not done either, so I walked away and let Boyd do his magic. Well needless to say we got it.

 Boyd went to the spot and I headed 10 miles to town to get him some cold beer.

Border time

Border

We crossed the border with no issues whatsoever. It was an absolute beautiful ride. About 94 degrees all day.

Boyd needed to call home, so I told him to find a spot to pull over. It was an Assembly of God church parking lot. They had a sprinkler going so I soaked my jacket and head do rag. I put them on wet and dripping as we rode, and my body temperature dropped about 20degrees. However, Boyd did not want to get his gear wet, so he was burning up. “I have to teach him!!!”

 When we set camp to sleep under the stars we hit the lake.

I am on vacation, but I never can make my self stop working. We film a couple of  18.21 ManMade social media videos. Then we enjoy the setting and do some swimming.

 Now time to cook up some Freeze dried dinner.
