Note from Cheryl

Hey all,

I feel I should say something, but Chris is doing such a thorough job with this blog that there's not much else to add! Also, it's nice to have some time away from the computer. But I have to say how beautiful this province is--I am falling in love with B.C. this time around. I have had some great hikes in the hills, especially in Princeton and Grand Forks, where there were tonnes of wildflowers and butterflies and birds. It's heaven. Some areas are kind of lonely and desolate, or at least they seem that way from the highway, but that also adds to the flavour of the place. The mills and logging trucks and SUVs everywhere are kind of a bummer in the middle of all this otherwise pristine wilderness, but that's the way it goes. Seeing it sure makes you want to take care of this place. Can't wait to see what's next!

Chris and I are becoming seasoned RVers. All we lack is a little white poodle for the van. At the Riviera Campsite in Grand Forks, a leathery-faced lady with pink lipstick was actually selling poodles to passing RVers, which I found strangely hilarious. I am also rediscovering the joys of a hot shower. It's all about the simple things! All in all, life is very good right now. My love to everyone.
