Day 3 Sparwood BC

We missed the rain again today!!  Thank you mister sun! 600 plus klms, breakfast at our favourite bakery in Greenwood, coffee at the Dragon Fly in Salmo, cherries at the rest stop in Cranbrook.  O'Canada, it is definitely a beautiful land!  We called ahead and booked the room in Sparwood, when we checked in Al upgraded to a king size bed with the Jacuzzi tub; definitely made the neck muscles relax after the 1 St big day of the ride. We chatted with the bar
tender while sipping martinis, the coal mine is feeling the slump in prices which is making it tough for the locals.  She bought in Fernie 20 years ago for 60,000: it is now worth $700,000.  Good luck to the next generation as it won't be easy!
