Today is the start of Summer, with Solstice tonight! As we rode through Creston, we saw signs of the start of the produce market season and the end of the school year. Fresh Strawberries Today! Moooving into Summer! And, ice cream pail sunflowers at the Erickson Elementary School.

Our bicycle ride today was a joyful, undulating, curving swish along the Kootenay Lake East shore to Crawford Bay.

It was beautiful! At our picnic lunch stop mid-way along the lake, we watched summer boaters launch their slick machines. B recounted his three summers with his family as a boy in Kaslo on the North end of this lake.
We also saw the Glass House, which we think was moved here from Vancouver Island. We've settled in for the night in Crawford Bay, with plans to take the 9am Kootenay Ferry to Balfour and to visit two of B's UBC classmates in Nelson before cycling to Castlegar for a day of bike care, laundry and administrative work before tackling the Paulson Pass to Christina Lake.
