Williams Lake

Yesterday we took a Greyhound from Vancouver to Williams Lake. We
went through an amazing variety of landscapes, from Pacific Northwest
Forest to high desert bunchgrass and sage, to the pine and fir forest
with scattered lakes of the area we are in now. A bit of tension
getting the bikes on the bus (troublesome ticket lady), but all the
tension melted away when we arrived at Blackbird Bay Bed and Breakfast
-- which was cheaper than all the hotels around here! It is on the
edge of the lake and a wildlife preserve, Super comfie room, great
host.

Now for the next adventure -- we found out yesterday that there have
been some raging fires on Hwy 20 up here -- the highway that we plan
to ride on. A section of the road has been closed for about 2 weeks
now. We won't get there for another 3 or 4 days, so we have our
fingers (and toes) crossed that it will open up by then. Wish us
luck!
