Day 4

Sept 12, 2022

Up around 7 AM &checked out of motel and headed to Humpty House for breakfast & fuel.  Then it was non stop up highway QE2 and got to Lacombe about noon.  Got fuel, then to grocery store for a chicken & some salads so we won't have to cook for a few days.

We put on 1700 KM (1060 miles) Had cool weather and so much smoke we did not get very good pictures, but we enjoyed the trip anyway.

 Day 3

Sept 11, 2022

Had a good nights sleep. Very quiet place. Up and on the road just before 8 AM and on our way to Nakusp for breakfast.  Had breakfast at a Bistro called Hans & Jill's. awesome food but expensive, but worth every penny. Got fuel on way out of town. Most expensive so far. $208.9/litre.

Went Castlegar way and thought that we would spend the night in Blairmore, but got there so early we decided to head up Hwy 22 to Chain Lakes and then take the road east to Nanton for the night.  Got room at the Ranchland motel. Cheapest one yet. Only $98.10. Got checked in and then went to Humptys for supper around 7PM.

 Day 2

Sept 10, 2022

Up early and only +3 C so we got over to the Husky House for breakfast by 8 AM our time, but when we headed west we forgot about the time change, so we got to our meeting place an hour too early and had to wait for Ron to ride in from Kamloops. We stopped in Revelstoke for a hot chocolate and to warm up. By the tine we left the A&W in Revelstoke it was +17C.  We met up with Ron in Sicamous for lunch and a good visit.  We had not seen him since 2017.  

After lunch we headed towards Vernon and then east to Fauquier to the Arrow Lake Motel, An awesome motel and way cheaper than the one in Golden.  When we booked we were told to bring food as a restaurant would be 45 minutes away.  We had to cross the ferry and only had to wait maybe 3 minutes.

 Day 1

Stopped before Rocky to put more jackets on.  Once we got to Sask Crossing the weather started to get better.  By the tine we got to Golden it was plus 22.  Got checked into the Rondo Motel and sat in the sun to warm up before going to Husky House for a roast beef dinner.  Back to motel for the night.
