This entry is from Karen and Mimi, the SAG wagon domestiques. Intenet access is very limited, as is our cell phone access to the U. S.
The weather is awesome, rainy and even some hail 2 days ago, but, clear, cool and blue skys today. Days are in the low 70's and we had freezing temps at night in Panorama.
We've had one moose sighting and one baby black bear sighting.
The guys had a reasonable day yesterday, getting by with some scrapes and a minor amount of bloodshed, but very grimy and dirty from head to toe at the finish line. Their time was about 3 and a half hours which put them in 6th place in their age group of about 20 + groups.
Today's stage is twice as long.
Karen and I will try to indulge in the natural hot springs today. Shower facilities are at a minimum.
I hope to leave another entry tomorrow as we found internet access the information center here in Radium HOt springs.
We will be staying in Nipika for the next 2 nights for the 2nd and 3rd stages.
Ciao!
