We're back at the B&B - love this place - wish we could stay longer. The last two days have been interesting.
Mishap # 1: We arrived at Keiji and I was changing in the tent and discovered I had no more clean underwear. Now I am a weirdo about underwear - I always pack at least two extra pair - which means I should have 6. I am missing 3 pairs. Did they get left behind when I did laundry, did I forget to pack them, did the teenager at the campground swipe them? Hmmm...
Mishap # 2: I have had a headache since last Thursday, it's been centered right behind my right eye. This morning I woke up and my right eye was all swollen up. Possible causes - I got some bark in my eye last week, could some of it somehow have gotten behind my eyeball and caused the headache? Am I allergic to something - maybe DEET? Do I have an infection? It's not pink eye, because it doesn't itch. The swelling does seem to be going down. And 4 Advil at a time are keeping the headache at bay.
Mishap # 3: I discovered sidewall damage to my front tire. This freaked me out, because I'm getting some speed on the downhills and the bike handles much differently with the trailer. There is a mountain bike rental place in the park, so I decided to go there and see if I can at least use their stand so I can switch the tire to the back. BUT... they actually had a road tire. It's a 32 mm, which my bike can take, but not with fenders. It's now on the back wheel and I have a 27 on the front.
I think the tire may have been damaged in transist, rubbing against something inside the case.
I'll be keeping my eye open for some place to buy some underwear.
If the eye doesn't seem to be improving, I'll be heading to the doctor tomorrow.
Keiji was beautiful. We canoed one of the rivers because it was so windy - 2 - 3 foot waves on the lake. Our campsite was nice - right on the lake. We saw some ducks, some deer and what I think was a beaver, or maybe a marmot.
Tomorrow we continue on up to Valley View Provincial Park.
