Leaving Radium Hot Springs we traveled down through Invermere/Winermere valley a nice, well to do town. Rode the west side road of the lake which is quiet and undevolped. We stopped in Invermere for some food and coffee.
The day was hot so after arriving at the town of Waso we jumped in the Waso lake to cool down. Then found a nice fruit stand selling CA fruit for dinner.
Our camping neighbors were really nice. The couple was from Banff but had come down to west BC for the warm weather. On our arrival to camp they brought us over two cold beers. Then later their young son brought us some oreo cookies. They are my new best friends! They were very interested in what it takes to do an extended self- supported bike tour.
Another hot day for tomorrow so we trying to push out early to beat the heat.
