Motorcycle Adventures

Warm and sunny – that’s how it started, and that’s how it stayed.

We got up at eight. Nicole got ready quickly, we both had breakfast, and Nicole left for Nelson to have a Sauna and a Massage. Poor Nicole had rough morning!

I relaxed and lazed about for a while before getting ready and going to meet Nicole in Nelson for Noon.

We met at the Red Fish, our favorite restaurant, and had a wonderful lunch on the patio. It was hot! I enjoyed my lunch barefoot and in shorts and a t-shirt. Such a nice change.

After lunch I managed to get us lost. Once Nicole lead the way back, we were on our way to Osoyoos.

We jad decided to go to Ososyoos because its like a little desert, and so finally, camping was to be in our future.

The drive was fantastic. I can’t say enough about the route between Nelson and Osoyoos is a bikers dream. The weather was perfect the whole way though this time, though temperature regulation is always challenging though this area. There are several climbs and descents though the mountains on this route and so what started in Nelson as 24 degrees became 27 degrees and then went as low as 15 degrees on some of the passes. Osoyoos was a wonderful 26 degrees when we arrived.

We used the GPS to find a couple of campsites, and looked at locations in both before deciding on the best spot.

We are right on the lake (across the street) and have a cute little cabana that has a fridge, a sink, and a picnic table. Its a great little shelter. Our tent is right in front of it, and our bikes on either side. Its really quite a nice set up.

We had dinner, and afterwards Nicole rode into town to pick up breakfast supplies while I finsihed setting up.

We then went for a wonderful walk along the shore, and then came back to roast marshmellows and have a drink before going to bed in our tent.

I haven’t checked but the outside temp is probably about 16 degrees. Perfect.
