There is a bike path all the way from Cranbrook to Kimberley which used to be a railway. The trail is conveniently called Rails to Trails and was perfect for the days journey. 10 km from the campsite we were in Kimberley. Thankfully Emily did the first half with the Chariot as it we later found out it was mostly up hill :)

Once in Kimberley we headed straight to the Platzl, a local shopping area. It was a very quaint little street with lots of interesting shops, local fare and the world largest coo-coo clock. We especially enjoyed the schnitzel and strudel!
The way back was all down hill. This was good for numerous reasons:
1. Trent was pulling the Chariot.
2. A big storm was coming into the area and we had to get back before it hit.
3. We saw our first black bear of the year. It was about 10 ft. away from us as we biked by on the trail. Much too fast for it to notice. (Or catch us)
Later on that night we received some very exciting news. Chris had proposed to Carmen... and she said yes! So exciting, more Masons.
