I decided to spend the night at the Kokanee creek campground for two reasons. First, I was going to be really late getting into Crawford bay, setting up my tent in the dark, and at this campground, there’s a free spot for bike packers. Someone who used to cycle camp bequeath money for a shelter to be build, and to allow hikers and bike packers to stay for free. I found some food at the gas station, heated some water for the dehydrated food and some tea! Yummy.
Today was a great day, all in my own. I took a different road than highway 3A, I took Blewett road. A gorgeous road that was fairly quiet….but there was a lot of extra elevation gain….good training!!! 😂😂😂
For the motorcycles coming this way…this is a great little road. As you see in the pictures, the sun was shining most of the day, and I was warm!!!! Cycling in my t-shirt most of the day. I took it easy today, going slowly and just enjoying where I was. Such a fun day!
Selling eggs
Beautiful scenery
I made it to Nelson, and my bike is currently in the shop, I need a new chain already. Hopefully they can get it done today. Crawford Bay is looks less likely now ☹️.
The plan is Crawford bay tonight. Hopefully I’ll have service most of the way so that you can see where I am. Leaving soon, just finishing breakfast. I was a little light on food yesterday. Even at dinner last night I couldn’t eat much….feeling it today. So I’ll likely make lots of stops for food 😀

I love all those roadside vendors - there are so many in BC. Well, Nelson is a pretty nice place to be stuck, if it has to be that way. Hope your bike fix is quick and painless! You’re doing great 🚵♀️😃
