Holed up in Cache Creek

Sunday Oct. 27, 2013

We had planned to travel to Kelowna today but it was not to be.  We hit dense fog coming into Clinton yesterday and the temperature dropped from 10C to 4C in a matter of minutes.  After our look see in Clinton we continued on to Cache Creek where the weather was a little better.  We had hoped to have water available for a shower but that was not to be.  We don’t have any water on board for our travels south as Eric has winterized the rig to prevent freeze up.  We have water in jugs and use the tanks.  Now to add insult to injury we did not move on today due to our old friend “the wind!”  The wind picked up last night along with some rain and has been gusting up to 70km all day so we decided to stay put for today.  It is 3:30 pm and it is still blowing but it’s supposed to slow down a bit by tomorrow.  Keep your fingers crossed!  Highway 97 from Cache Creek to Kamloops is high, open and exposed to all sorts of wind so we choose not to travel if the wind is really blowing.  It is usually dry, sunny and calm in Cache Creek….not this time!
