Our fly is down

This morning we woke with the sun coming over the mountains and warming up the tent. We packed everything up and went into town to meet Libby; we had to get her to sign the canoe. We met her just as she was heading out for a few hour bike ride. After she signed the canoe we said our goodbyes and then went over to see Jake, Karen and Bryson at he outrigger compound. We were meeting George there and they spotted by to say farewell.

George was out with the crew on the water. They started at 8 and brought the boat off at about 1030. We had our canoe on his truck quickly and were on the road by 1100, after saying our final farewells to the Devlins.

The drive from Kamloops was gorgeous. We made good time and both Jeff and I got to spend some time with George. He's a fantastic guy and he didn't mind taking us to the campground, even though it was out of his way. He was heading to Vancouver to see his wife.

We will be seeing our cousin Marylin this evening. Should get on the road soon since I'm updating this blog at a Starbucks.

Woke up sometime in the evening to a pitter-patter of rain. Just before turning in, we thought about putting the fly on, but said “Let's live dangerously”, even though the forecast was calling for some drizzle overnight. But how accurate can the Weather Network be? Well, we discovered at oh, maybe 2 am that yep, they were right! I volunteered to go outside, dig the fly out of the car in my jammies, and get it set up while the drizzle is actually turning into a full rain. Did alright for working in near darkness.
