yes that's great and cool for bike touring.... but sometimes also sad when you see that in small villages only a handful of people live, and the rest has left. Rural flight is a big problem in many rural places here in Spain.

but my comment was really just referring to riding through vast, open areas. I find that feeling to be really neat.

I screwed up. This picture I originally posted was not one of the eagle pictures I took in Montana while riding with my with my daughter on the way home from a week long tour with our daughters. My wife caught my error. This picture was taken while we were hiking around a nearby lake. I apologize for the misrepresentation.
We were definitely not on a tour when this picture was taken.

Doug, I'm trying to find a joke somehow connected to that kinda weird expression, "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" , but something along the lines of your grave misrepresentation staying between you and the bird.....
but I'm not being successful!......

A couple photos of a few friends and I hitting the trail last week. Colder than average temps created both significant frost and fog in the mornings, while a colorful change in the foliage could be seen in the afternoon.

A few pics from a shortened trip on the Columbia and Western railtrail in first week of Oct 2021. Achilles swelled up and stopped the ride. Too bad,trail was wonderful.One of the tunnels was almost a kilometer long!

So, what was your intended full route? Vancouver through Kelowna and through to ~Fort MacLeod, perhaps?
It's been a long time since I've been in the area, though it was only in a vehicle with frequent stops along the way to hike around and view the beauty in the mountains.

We intended to join up with the Kettle Valley Railtrail in Midway,then 4 days to Penticton, then either one more day to Osoyoos or 2 or 3 days to Princeton. Definately going back next year. A great deal of these 2 trails takes you away from the roads and through some beautiful country.

Of course, narrow as it is, I imagine that with a few cars or fog along the route that road would quickly change its character.
Beautiful, even with that.
