Kafka was right...

Now, once again, the wind is calling my name ... its time to saddle up...
RACIST..... you are white, calling yourself a gypsy is like wearing blackface. Besides a real gypsy does not set up a permanent business operation. No, instead they are chased from town to town after pillaging the farmers daughter and plundering the crops.
You may be a nomad.
Stay safe and have another wonderful ride.

I will...

... and Not for nothing... I have had experience in all three at one time or another ... and where my Great-Greats come from in the Ukraine is just across the border from Romania... so there is a chance I got some Gypsy blood in me from back in the days of Plundering and raping...

Careful, if we go much further along this trail we may find distant relations which would mean you are my cousin. Mine hail from the other side of Romania. I am 0.1024% Gypsy

All the very best, matey.
safe travels, may the wind be at your back, the sun high in the sky, and those tiny little f*ckers (mozzies) far far away

Enjoy your morning coffee before you ship out.

stay well

Steve.

Tomorrow's bit... very little straight road, two ferries and three mountain ranges... all in it will be a 10 hr day with the ferry delays.




Fridays bit... have to ride through Kelowna, but then it is up the Connector, and find highway 5a... which I have not been on in a very long time on a bike...

A Switch up… Stayed on highway three… Explain later… Going to keep peddling until I run out of steam, and then tie down for the night…



Summit lake… At the top of the Kooteney pass… This is where I had second breakfast…



… Christina lake, just a bit east of Grand Forks… Stopped here for lunch.
