Clearwater.

I have passed clearwater, and I am camping in a little forest, between the fraser river, and the highway. This, is perhaps the nicest site, clandestine or paid that I have found. My only concern is that it may be a little to close to the highway. Not that it matters, because I doubt that anyone would go into the woods at night, and I intend to leave pretty early tomorrow morning.

The site itself is on mica sand, which is at once both shiny, and soft. This is nice.

Today, I did about 130km, and tomorrow I will roll through kamloops. I have revised my plan, and I'm also going to roll through vancouver, but spend more time there next week.
I'm hellbent on getting to the end of the ride, so I'll be trying to get to twassen by monday night, arriving in victoria then.

I'm also going to have to get food in kamloops. This, will also increase my weight going over the hill. I've also gotta stop at abbotsford, as I can't camp in town, and will likely need to be fresh to do the 75 km between there and twassen.

Tonight's site features 5 bars of EVDO cell service. This is a real treat after being in the black hole of cellphone service that is the bc interior. There was, however analog service in blue river, but that only added to last night's discontent.

Tomorrow, kamloops.
