Chris and Doug installed a new amber light on the RV this morning, and I was happy we had it. The climbs, straights, turns, and rock cuts continued today as we pushed forward through beautiful, rough country to White River. Since we arrived here, the team has been discussing Winnie the Pooh, if you’ll believe it. White River is home of the actual bear cub which was purchased by Lieutenant Harry Colebourn in 1914, but the bear was named Winnie after Colebourne’s hometown of Winnipeg.

We arrived in White River around dinner time. After being welcomed into the community by Reverend Bonnie Rayner, we had an opportunity to meet with Mayor Angelo Bazzoni, who later treated us to dinner at the Continental Dining Lounge, where the food was delicious. Thank you!

Jeanne Morgan and members of All Saints Anglican Church set us up with accommodations in the White River Motel’s cozy group lodge, and Reverend Bonnie ensured the fridge was stocked up for us on our arrival – so we’re definitely being looked after here in Pooh Country! Thanks so much everyone for your kindness and for supporting Cycle to Walk!
