Its semi-desert conditions were a strange contrast to the previous few days of travel. What was also strange was meeting up with our friends from Marathon, ON. Cheryl and Pat &amp; Harper Lee (pup)\u00a0greeted us with open arms and a warm, soft bed. We were wined and dined, and got to spend many days reconnecting with them, and getting to know the Kamloops area.\u00a0I learned the beer is fantastic, the salmon run was cool, and Harper Lee is the cutest thing ever!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_118\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-118\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1006.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-118\" src=\"https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1006-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Sheryl &amp; Harper\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1006-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1006-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1006.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-118\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cheryl &amp; Harper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_119\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-119\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1011.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-119\" src=\"https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1011-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Pat &amp; Mike, beer wisdom\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1011-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1011-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1011.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-119\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pat &amp; Cheryl<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMGA0403.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-120\" src=\"https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMGA0403-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"IMGA0403\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>One day Pat suggested an outing to a nearby park to see the salmon run. It&#8217;s not a high year, but still pretty amazing to see these overly-large fish trying to fight their way up very shallow streams. We enjoyed the company immensely, and I enjoyed the local beer perhaps a bit too much. Even the vegan cuisine was excellent (thanks Cheryl), although I will say I had this insatiable desire for a hamburger the day we left \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1012.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-113\" src=\"https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1012-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1012\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1012-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1012-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1012.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMGA0414.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-114\" src=\"https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMGA0414-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMGA0414\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMGA0414-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMGA0414-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/helplink.com\/CLAFC\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMGA0414.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A short run from Lumby took us into a whole new world of Kamloops.
