Distance: 91.9
Started cold and sunny - 7 degrees. But after the last two days we were glad to see the sun.
The start was downhill for the first 17km then a constant 5km climb, a slight downhill and another climb before heading down to Princeton.
Weather continued to warm and we were stripping layers most of the day.
At the coffee stop in Princeton we ran into some local ladies who told us about the Old Hedley Road as an alternative to the highway. That was lovely as it got us off the busy roads and onto a scenic back road. Thank you ladies.
When we arrived at the campground the trailer was set up and ready for snacks. Our best campground to date although the showers still only give you five minutes at a time. Who can have a shower in 5 minutes?!
Elevation: 841m

This is Barbara, who Nancy sold shoes to the last day at New Balance!
Regarding the ladies who told you about the Old Hedley Road - In my drive across Canada I found so many people who were gracious and helpful and interested. I am sure you will find many more like these ladies in your journey across this magnificent Country.
Be brave with the mountains! The Prairies will soon be with you! ;-)
