May 14 - Day 8 to Manning Park

May 14, a short day with enough uphill, in the rain.  Everything got a bit muddy.  I met up with three guys from Quebec and we are sharing a cabin.  Nice to escape the cold and rain, surprisingly my share of the cabin is only $30 more than camping!!!!  And I have the master with the ensuite!!!!  Ok….wild animal count….3 slugs for me😂😂.  But the boys saw a black bear!!!  
Drying our tents

Got a bit muddy


 

May 14….heading off!!!!  Another gorgeous day 😵‍💫 

I was hoping to make it to Princeton today….which is 1 1/2 legs that I had planned.  Well, I made it to manning park resort.  Raining most of the day….and soooo much uphill.  Having lunch….which I think might turn into dinner here too.  Looking into some accommodation here.  Dry out, clean up and get ready for tomorrow.

Always great to share a few miles (and stories) with fellow riders…and in a warm dry cabin too! ❤️
