Day 113 - 23rd September, Greenwood - Rock Creek - Osoyoos, 57.61 miles

Weather was a little better today than yesterday, but colder (about 10 - 15 degrees Celsius). We enjoyed nice downhill to Midway and then rode to Rock Creek following Kettle River in the valley with many pastures and green lands around. After Rock Creek we had to climbed pretty steep hill, not so steep and high as hill between Castlegar and Christina Lake, though. But this time we had strong and very cold wind. When we reached Anarchist Summit (1233 m), we had to put all our rain gear on us again. From Osoyoos came huge dark clouds full of rain. Very soon we biked down and up hills with freezing cold rain and wind. And than came descent down do Osoyoos. We were glad that we came from the east, the west side was more steeper, with many serpentine. To get down to Osoyoos would be nice rode, but not in the rain. Luckily while we got down it stopped raining and because DQ was on the way we stopped there for something like dinner, spent all our Canadian money. Tomorrow we are leaving Canada and going back to USA. The night we spent in Heynes Point Provincial Park. It was raining again.
