So a change in pace today , slept in till 6 AM !!
We are camped on the banks of the Coldwater River on the outskirts of Merritt , it’s a small mill town nestled in a valley surrounded by arid mountains, a very western town with a country and western theme as there are murals of country singers on many of the store walls and many of the locals could be called cowboys donning large cowboy hats.
Not mush to do exempt for eating and laundry, it seems that just about everything I have needed washing , the laundry mart being a very popular TdC meeting place this morning as everybody was in the same predicament after two rainy days.
After that it was a good long cleaning of the bike accompanied by guitar music as a bonus courtesy of John!!! Once that was done my stomach started grumbling so off I went to the Coldwater Hotel for a huge burger and cream of chicken soup ( the burger was so big I had to eat it with a knife and fork !!! )
The rest day seems a bit long as there really is nothing to do, I went into town about 4 times already , took pictures , read the newspaper and now am bloging, but it’s a very necessary day after yesterdays climb , tomorrow is a long day 147 km with an option so rest is good !!!!.
