Mission to Hope - Day 3

Rain, rain, go away...

Another chilly day in BC, hopefully the sun will be back tomorrow. The good thing about today was that I realized that I am not the only cyclist traveling alone. I met a guy from the UK today and he's heading roughly the same way... except he's hoping to head to Edmonton. Anyway, I'll likely see him on the road tomorrow as I believe he's heading the same way up BC Hwy5... It will be good to ride with someone - but then again my bike sound system worked well for today. I will keep everyone posted.

Anyway, Hope is always a good thing!

Things I learned about HOPE, British Columbia
1) Rambo First Blood was filmed here
2) It is the chainsaw carving capital - but of what? the province, the country, the world
3) It is home to the oldest church in BC
4) Really friendly people live here
5) Hope was created initially as Fort Hope - by the Hudson's Bay Company to act as a transfer point for the fur trade.

Anyway, why I shared those little factoids... no clue:)
