Default Western Command Tour 2011 day 7

Freedom Route 4 Day 7
Up for a full on spread for Breakfast from the Legion, man they fed us! A little cool in the morning and we had some time to look around before forming up at the Truck stop. We left at 9:15 for another big pull as we hadn’t taken this route on the way in. West on Highway 3 took us through Richter Pass at 2880 feet it was one of the easier ones. Once we reached Cawston it was a pretty easy drive on to Keromeos were we had spent the first night, only a quick gas stop and then we were off to an adventure camp for Teens.
Beautiful little camp with modern accommodations and the kids are there because they need to be there. Different backgrounds and different problems but they were all respectful and curious about all our vehicles. It was a beautiful day and the weather was perfect and the river was right up to the top of the banks. Could have just stayed right there for a week and none of us would have complained. But we did have to leave so we formed up and took in the scenery heading west to Headley.
Headley is a boom and bust mining town that we stopped at and parked near there cenotaph and had lunch. Headley’s mine is opening again so it had a little more life to it than the last time we went through. After Lunch it was back on the road the rest of the way to Princeton. In Princeton we set up next to the Cenotaph on a street closed off for us. We had dinner at the Legion and took in game 5. In a much better mood we headed over to the Stampede grounds and set up for the night.
Given this was our last night as a group we were a little melancholy but we were well fed and we found out that not only was Chuck a good cook he could sing and play guitar at the same time. Sleep came all too easy for most of us.
Day seven, 115 Kms
