Most of our journey was done under a steady drizzle. Rob even entertained the hope of finding a motel or cabin to sleep in if the rain persisted but it gradually lightened as the day progressed to low clouds. As of yet we haven't gotten any rain at our campground.
Rob believes this trip is beginning to resemble episodes from Surviver because we are being tested to the best of our abilities. So, who will be the first to drop out? We are dreading the climb to Allison Pass which is said to have minimum 17 km uphill.
We spent a lot of the day travelling through farm country, spending our time counting the cows and the horses. All the corn fields reminded Josianne of Stephen King horror novels. We also had dogs running down the lane, and much to Boku's disappointment he was stuck in the car.
This campground is run much like a provincial park and we were all excited to take advantage of the showers. Though much of the late afternoon was spent napping, we look forward to marshmallows tonight. The bright side to constant rain is that there is little threat of forest fires.
