Eureka. Also rain.

Stayed at a hostel in Fernie to take refuge from the rain. We met another cyclist there. She's riding across Canada west-east. Goodluck Anne if you read this!!

Left Fernie in the rain in the morning and made good time on dirt roads that were in pretty good shape. After a highway interlude we ate poutine bc we were almost out of Canada.
10 miles before the border USA welcomed us with open arms and sunshine!! Sunshine! From my sampling there is no sunshine in BC or Alberta.

At the border we took pictures for "hands up-the pose", a fundraising project you should check out on Facebook. They have a scavenger hunt each year and this year the Canadian border was on the list!
Now we are in Eureka. We're taking refuge in a motel with about 6 other divide riders bc the weather is supposed to get bad again tonight. Yay. We may get creative with our route tomorrow.
The beer is substantially better and cheaper in Montana. 
Going to the sun... Hoping for some sun...
