Gr@y & Blue Fall Road Trip 01

I've arrived at Champion Lake Park near Fruitvale BC in the dark, it is hard to orient oneself at thid point in time. Not even sure where the washrooms are. I think I know but I don't feel like wandering around with a flashlight to find my way around. There are very few people here. Best just to tuck into bed and figure out things in the morning.

Wally is on a road trip with Car Puppy tagging along. Maggie will be joining the trip once we get to Toronto. Car Puppy (CP) is a Pound Puppy stuffy that has been in our cars since a young now 3 year 10 month old friend was 5 months old. CP keeps him company in the child seat of our car. CP started this saga when we found a nalgene bottle, belong to another friend of ours, left behind at the curbside. CP's mission is to return the bottle to its owner in Lethbridge. Wally's mission is to do some wild life viewing through to Quebec. Maggie and Wally will carry on together to also explore some Canadian shield canoeing and fall colours. Maggie equally if not more than helpfully got things prepped for this trip.

It was amazing going over the same roads that we went on when we rode our bikes from Regina to Victoria this year, finishing our three summer bicycle journey across Canada. Some pretty epic elevation gains. Caught 9am sailing this morning. Drove to Osoyoos for first long break at the Oxbow Nature Walk. The first sign of smoke from the BC Wildfires, after Princeton, made for an eerie landscape.
