Motorcycle ride along the Columbia River from Fruitland, WA to Revelstoke Canada 2022-09-06
The Invisibilia podcast discussed Norwegian 'Slow TV'. I decided to make this entire trip all Slow TV videos. This video is the ride for the entire day.

Arrived at my hotel in Revelstoke and settled in for the night.
