5/17/08 Honestly, we were getting a little sick of the gray sky and the low temperature. We haven’t ridden our bikes since Zion National Park. We left Abbotsford, BC, and the sky was blue and the temp got up to 75 degrees. It was beautiful. By the end of the day it had touched 90 degrees for a brief moment. This part of BC is absolutely spectacular. It is difficult to capture all the beauty on the camera, but the abundant waterfalls, the raging rivers, the tall mountains and the beautiful flowers are just great.
Hope. Larry and Renee had told us to see the wooden carvings in Hope. When we arrived at the town centre, a crew was installing a new town sign. We waited to get a picture when the workmen were finished. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the workman was Pete Ryan, the creator of all the wood sculptures! He gave us his card, and talked to us a bit. We took his picture. We headed around town after stopping at the Blue Moose Coffee House, and took in many more sculptures. They are on every corner. When we traveled on later in the day to Hells Gate, a tram that goes down into the canyon of the Fraser river, we saw another Pete Reeves sculpture in the restaurant there.
