Rhone to Nanaimo

After staying with Jeanette overnight in Armstrong we drove to Rhone/Westridge via Hwy 97 and Hwy 33 to brother Danny's place. This is where I was raised.  We moved to Rhone when Danny was 4 years old so that Danny could attend public school.  Although Rhone had only a one-room school for grades 1-8, it was better than Cookson, where there was no school and the population was only five including our family of four plus section foreman Joe. At Danny's, we spent the day shooting the breeze and getting to know his granddaughter, Mya's, horse. Danny's dinner was great with lots of his grass-fed beef. We had a great time with Danny, Joy, Shelley and Mya, along with Kenny and Darlene. 

The next morning, Monday, we left early and drove via Hwy 3 (Hope-Princeton Hwy) to the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal where we unloaded the car and assembled our bikes.  I then drove the rental car to the airport in Richmond, where I dropped it off. I then caught the train and bus back to the Tsawwassen ferry terminal. We caught the 3:15 PM ferry; as this was written, we were on the ferry to Nanaimo. 

 

Don and Judi met us at the Duke's point ferry terminal in Nanaimo.
