Went downtown for breakfast and the obligatory t-shirt shopping. Sorry kids your space on the bike for t-shirts as been given to grandkids and you're out of luck.
Soon found ourselves heading south on route 5 which is one of the most beautiful roads I have ever seen anywhere. Two lane, turn after turn, sometimes along a river or railroad tracks. Every time we exited a valley I thought we were coming to the end of the mountains and we would turn a corner and be right back in the middle of towering snow covered peaks.
The higher elevations had fur trees that were a very deep green and so thick you couldn't see in 25 feet. As the elevation dropped we started to see pine trees and stands of aspens adding a lighter green to the mix. Soon we were back in farm country with beautiful horse property and green fields.
In for the night in Kamloops on the confluence of two rivers, largest city we have seen in several days.
Kamloops: "Kamloops" is the anglicised version of the Shuswap word "Tk'əmlúps", meaning 'meeting of the waters'. Shuswap is still spoken in the area by members of the Tk'emlúps Indian Band.
