After a very nice 56 mile ride we are at Beaumont Provincial Park, N54-03.671, W124-37.077, elev 2266. We really goofed off today and stopped several times to enjoy the beautiful weather. We spent about an hour in Frasier Lake and bought some wonderful fresh fruit from a local truck stand.
Our only hill climb was Priestly Hill, elev 2551. We are gradually working our way up to the Continental Divide again.
The pine beatles have really ravaged this area but the locals say the problem is just about over because there are no more pine trees alive. The forests now are entirely cedar, fir and spruce.
