October 1-2, 2013: Logan Lake to Hope, BC

OCT  1 2013, Tuesday; Logan Lake
It got down to 20*F overnight, Brrrrrr!!!  It was a clear night and the sun is shining this morning, I hope it warms up quickly as the furnace is working double time!  We only got to 46*F (8*C) all day and the wind had a bite.  We went to town, paid for our campground ($46. For 2 nights and 30 amps power), got some groceries then walked around and checked out the new stores and the new additions.  We came home, put the groceries away and took a walk around the lake then I had a short snooze before heading over to the Kirkby’s.  We had a great dinner of wild deer meat, potatoes and vegetables with ice cream for dessert.  We had a few glasses of wine but not as much as last night!!  We came home around 10 pm after saying our final goodbyes.  Unfortunately, the Tate’s weren’t home so we missed them.

 
OCT  2, Wednesday; to Hope, BC
It was a cold morning again but not as cold as yesterday!  After our showers, we slowly packed up and headed out by 11 am.  We stopped at Wayne’s place (my old mechanic) to say hello and goodbye then headed south on 97C.  The road has improved somewhat and in Merritt, we stopped for brunch!  We left from there and got on Hwy 5 South to Hope!  The ride was uneventful and somewhat boring.  We arrived at Johnny and Irais’s place by 3:30 pm.  After setting up, we took the Jeep for a wash then came back home.  Johnny arrived from work at 4 pm and Irais around 4:30pm.  We proceeded to have HH then diner and more chatting into the evening.  We finally called it quit around 9:30 pm...They have to work tomorrow!  It is 50 *F right now.
