And in the end...



On Monday, August 16, I came up from the US and into BC. I slid past Alberta purposefully so I could close out the Sky To Sea journey by visiting Candace's resting site in the Kootenays. It seemed to be the only fitting end to this undertaking.

I'm comforted knowing she was happy with her life and she's happy where she rests today. That was evident throughout my STS journey. As you can see in the photos, it was a beautiful day in the Kootenays and we always said, "it's tough to beat the Kootenays on a sunny day."

The Sky To Sea journey ends, as it should.

    Having you visiting us gave me the opportunity to share Candace's love for motorcycling. Her spirit remains alive within me through this memorable experience. It was a real pleasure to meet you. All the best.

    P.S. I'm sure if Daniel was here he'd also wish you well but, as you can probably imagine, he's out and about :)

  7. Well better to comment late than never. I just read your final enties. What a wonderful end to a wonderful journey. I can just see the smile on Candace face!

    True friends may not see each other often and may not even communicate on a regular basis, but you know a true friend when your paths meet after much time has passed, yet you just seem to pick up where you left off. Such is the case with us Bob, as I am sure it was with many.
