Today was mostly uneventful. A day of gradual hills both up and down. It was tipping over 40° around noon and I had to hide from the brutal sun for a time west of Vernon in a shaded little corner store.Leaving Westside road onto Otter Lake road I was shaded by the sun from cloud cover as I rolled through sparse quiet farmlands. I would eventually meet up with 97a just after Armstrong where a gas station clerk refused to charge me for a slushy. This took me through Enderby and up to Grindrod where I was told a quiet school and church were tucked away and good for camping. There I stayed for the night undisturbed.
