Morning coffee at The Packing House
A special shout out and THANKS to proprietor Steve. He was so friendly and supporting and genuinely interested in Breyden's story. AND it was the coolest coffee house I have been to in a while. Great hospitality and atmosphere.
then Breyden set off again with Daryl and Alex. It sure is a lot easier without the pack.

Arrived at Spences Bridge
Having a rest after dinner and a full day of walking. Breyden covered 36 kilometers today. Probably the most distance walked in one day yet.
Lytton - Family joins in
Daryl, Diane and Alex drove up from Vancouver. Had lunch on a pullout about 15km past Lytton.
It was a short lunch as we decided to make it to Spences Bridge by nightfall so we could eat dinner and spend the night in a hotel together. Breyen, Alex and Daryl walked for an hour till we met up with Diane who had drove ahead about 6k with the car.

Then Breyden and Daryl went the remaining 15k in run/walk mode.
And arrived in Spences Bridge just as it was starting to get dark.
Stayed at the The Inn at Spences Bridge. Ray was a great host and very friendly. He suggested we check out the Cafe in town tomorrow for coffee. (yes, Daryl and Diane were already scoping out the morning brew)

Up the Fraser Canyon
Left Hope BC this morning. Out of the lower Mainland and heading up the Trans Canada through the Fraser Canyon. Had a lot of support from friends and family. Bought some better shoes, got a great backpack from Uncle Byron and Aunt Diane, got the solar charger fixed and ready to head out of the lower mainland now and into the first bit of remote part of the trip.

Abbotsford camp
Took the Fraser Hwy most of the way through the Fraser Valley. Aside from a few construction areas it was a good trek.
Another night in the tent. Evening #5. Uncle Daryl drove out from Vancouver to offer support and had dinner together. They scoped out the area and found a decent place to camp not far from Abbotsford.
