This morning was frustrating. Since we had been so tired and battered last night, we didn’t take all the wet stuff (our packs mainly, which we were sick of) out of the car. So everything in the packs that might not have been wet had we taken them out, were at least damp. On top of this, the free breakfast at the Super 8 was incredibly skimpy, the only hot food options were instant oatmeal or toast (with whipped spread, not even butter!). The last one we stayed at had eggs, potatoes, and sausage, so we were rather disappointed. The bed was extremely firm as well. So FYI, the Super 8 in Kalispell, MT is not worth it! (Rates above $100/night, not what is reported on the website.)

Anyways, I spread the tent out in the back of the car to air it out while we drove up through Canada, over Idaho, and back into Washington to Okanogan

British Columbia was very cute and pretty. The Canadian Rockies were on point with a dusting of snow on the higher peaks that we could see. Most of the towns were cute and had little downtown areas similar to Manitou Springs. We stopped to get something to drink and a snack in Creston at Buffalo Trail Coffee (and to use the wifi to check in with the world).

All in all, a smooth sailing day. The border guards got a little nosy about Robert’s face, which makes sense, but they were curt and didn’t give us much trouble. The motel in Okanogan was quaint and we got pizza from a nearby joint that was delicious. They put on a nice thick, gooey layer of cheese on over the ham, pepperoni, green peppers, and onion. It was a perfect victory pizza. My stomach almost couldn’t handle it though, going from almost no food to half a pizza was maybe not the best plan.

Since the pizza, we finished laying out all the wet stuff from the packs and have been working on blog posts with South Park playing in the background.
