July 12, 2007: Ride to Kelowna, BC
See routeTara Shanti Lodge.
glad I couldn't see anything in the
dark when I arrived the night before.
how loose the gravel was, I'd never
have made it up this driveway. As it was,
I literally SLID to a stop at the top of
of the hill into a spot next to another bike.
I'd make it back down the hill.
I did... at 0.001 km per hour on the
steep start, then at 0.002 kph after the turn.
The dock was only 500 m from Tara Shanti.
It's a good thing I found TS's sign in the dark.
Otherwise I would have driven right into the water
Thor, nicely tucked in behind the Kawi.
He wedged himself in so tightly that
neither he or the RV beside him could
get out of their vehicles!
(BTW ... this classifies as a cool truck
on my website, Gav! ... Western Star, too!)
were building a new bridge on Hwy 31.
Translation: yet another delay...
Kootenay Lake.
Awesome road to ride!
I stopped to take pictures but also
to space myself from a logging truck which
was impossible to pass on this winding road.
New Denver
They actually lifted the gate to let
me on. I was originally in line further
up but found out that Farquier was the
last place to get gas for awhile.
All there was for miles and miles
was wilderness...
...and twisties!! :)
day was Kalamalka Lake...
Wanted to see if the water was still
as blue... was... but dirtier... too bad.
will recognize...
And Ryan would love his buddy, Steve, to
visit... WITH bike, of course... -hint- -hint-
