Had to change sites Friday and decided to take a rest day to refuel, catch up on time change, get groceries and play tourist in the Hand Made Art and Finnish districts of TBay. Sat’s 96 km ride to Kakabeka falls was along very quiet country shouldered roads through small village of Murillo. Falls plunge 130 feet over sheer cliffs and some of the oldest fossils in the world. This area has prairies on one side of the road and B.C. on the other. Again, avoided looming thunderstorms…I tell ya, the skies are crazy here; believe it or not, Tourism Thunder Bay boasts that they are the sunniest city in eastern Canada….kinda like Sunny Saltair!

The pics look spectacular but why do you think they call it Thunder Bay... :-) Grumpa and family are back from Campbell River but headed off to Lake Cowichan on Monday til Thursday. Crusty heads back to Crofton today as the Mrs. has to work tomorrow - they are going to Medicine Hat in early September to see #2 son and wife. Those bum callouses must be pretty thick by now, eh!!!
