Having done 6 quite hard days on the road, I’m having a day off in Lillooet, mostly resting and eating!
Lillooet’s a quiet town surrounded by mountains and situated on the Fraser River. It has quite a large First Nation population, the St'at'imc. There is a nice museum on the main street that I visited during the morning and discovered the local history.
The climate is strange here too, something of a micro-climate. Lillooet is one of the driest places in Canada, receiving only 40cm of rain a year! The dryness is in contrast to the areas I’ve just come from. Lillooet’s also regularly one of Canada’s hottest places during the summer.
I’m back on the road tomorrow. I join the Caribou Highway (#97) heading north to Prince George which I hope to reach in 4 or 5 days. The weather is set fair for the next few days as well and should be sunny and warm with temperatures in the mid to late 20's. Nice one!

A much deserved rest day, I think from the climb you so vividly describe, needed as well. Well done
