3   Tuesday, September 2   Princeton, BC

Well, by hook or by crook, I have made it to Princeton. Only
2 days behind Schedule. O well. The Hope-Princeton highway was
absolutely brutal. I spent most of the day counting the KM
markers to the next campsite, where I could fill up with water
again. No rain today. The rain last night didn't let up until
late, so I spent the night at the gas station at Manning West
Gate. Patched up my tyre this morning before I left. It seems
to have held, although quite frankly, I am amazed. Apparently,
there us a bike shop here in town, so I will get a new tube,
and a couple of spares in the morning. I hope this isn't a
regular occurrence -- I don't have this kind of money. O well.
Hopefully, I will make it to Osoyoos tomorrow. Only 115kms, so
should be do-able.
