The 5 will lead us south through lovely farm country and into Kamloops where we will
stop at the Harley dealership in case anyone wants to shop. After lunch under the
trees in the riverside park, we'll leave the city behind and follow one of my favorite
roads, a winding two-laner through high pine country into the rodeo town of Falkland
where we'll hang our helmets for the night.
