A chill in the air

 Leaving Vernon headed south east on hwy 6 it was already 23degrees out but as I passed Lumby and started a very twisty climb up and over down to needles ferry the air cooled off which was great after the last few days and at some points it almost felt cold but never lasted long and when breaking out of the shadows the sun didn’t take long to remind one of who really had the power ,caught up to a truck near the summit and he was nice enough to pull over and let me and others pass , I stopped for a stretch break at a quite rest stop and seen a sign I didn’t really believe ,then down to the ferry where I chatted with an older gentleman on a 2007 softtail classic he lives in Nakusp so we parted ways when the ferry docked he says he waits until the chaos of disembarking tourists passes and he has time for a leisurely ride home. Once I reached Nakusp it was on to hwy 23 and headed to the next ferry this one took a little longer to cross but it gave the ass a break once back on the road it didn’t take long to arrive in Revelstoke where I booked a room at the super 8 then went for a late lunch at the Village Idiot pub and grill it was tasty then I went and checked out the railroad museum,then it was back to the hotel and took a swim 









Ps I saw a grizzly cross the road just north of Needles ferry
