British Columbia

Riding through BC was incredibly beautiful. We were so mezmerized by the high rolling mountains and luscious trees that we rarely snapped out of it to snap a photo. The scenery on highway 3 east will be forever etched in our memories. Canada is a beautiful country! Our first night away from our cozy bed in Vancouver we pulled into a campground off the highway about an hour before sunset. The campground was full, but we had three different people approach us and offer to share their site!
We pitched the tent behind a nice couples trailer and made some delicious dinner in the dark. Fried up veggies with rice and miso gravy on top. The next morning, we packed up and continued our journey east.
Christina Lake is supposedly the warmest lake in all of British Columbia. Unfortunately, we again made it to camp just before sunset and didn't get the chance to swim in that lake. But it was a gorgeous view driving to the campground and we had pretty much one of the best sites there was.
That night there was a terrible storm, it rained and wind blew hard and trees around the campground broke and fell. Lightening blazed the sky and thunder roared. We laid in the tent and relished the sounds and vibrations of mother nature. The next morning brought us bright, clear skies and sunny, warm air. And we rode on. Back to America.
