Tuesday September 13: On the Road Again toward Vancouver and China

 A nice breakfast and leisurely leave-taking from Nicole, Chris and Somer, and we headed out in the lessening drizzle. North to Balfour, then Kaslo and through

Nakusp to Fauquier Ferry and on to Vernon. As we approached Vernon, the landscape became quite bleak. I can see why my mom didn’t love it during World War II. It’s very desert-like with a lot of sage-brush. Kamloops was the same, and just to add insult to injury, there were no rooms available in town. We drove on to Cache Creek where we had a nice meal and comfortable night.
