RAIN!!! It is actually raining! We haven’t had a good rain fall in over 4 months so this is quite an event. We slept in as we are only travelling about 175 miles to the border where we will do some last minute grocery shopping. We left at 9:25 am and headed north on Hwy 17. We reached Hwy 97, our final leg to the border, it rained the whole way. We stopped for a quick bite to eat at a “Subway” and had a sandwich then continued on to Oroville, just south of the border and Osoyoos. We went to Prince Market and stocked up on items that we are allowed to bring across and which is much cheaper than BC. We are also staying in the Parking Lot for the night and have power. We organized all our food and booze, made a list, charged up the Canadian phone, put our US money away and got our Canadian money out (about 2 lbs of loonies and toonies, so it feels like) and our passports. We will be home in Lee Creek tomorrow!
