Day 33 On the road again!!

I forgot to mention that while we were riding Highway 3 we watched a Crop dusting biplane do it's thing on the ripe crop beside the highway.  We could smell it long before we saw the act, I have read they do this but now I KNOW they spray the ripe grains before harvest and we are consuming the poison as it doesn't get washed off.  What about those breathing the fumes and handling the product???
Google the real reason grain is toxic.

We were waiting at the shop by 9 am hoping the mechanic would go in before 10, sure enough he got there shortly after but didn't stop to talk to us.  After about 45 minutes we heard the engine start and then the big door opened.  Al finally quit pacing it was fixed; the plug from the rectifier to the stater was corroded so they cut it off and made a new plug.  We rode out of there before 11 to go to Sideline Motorcycles who had a new one for insurance.  While waiting for the tow truck a guy drove up and gave us the shops phone number just in case we needed more assistance.

Off to Cranbrook and then Creston for the night.  We stayed right downtown at the Creston hotel and suites which was totally renovated with a great restaurant and pub.  The sheets and duvet were so nice!!!

I was so happy to have fruit and veggies to snack on!
