Soaked I got up and started to pack up. EVERYTHING was soaked. Although my tent had maintained its waterproofing, a lot of stuff stays outside the tent to give me more space. The tent has a couple of vestibules, but they didn’t stay dry. Neither did the floor of the tent. And, everything I touched […]

Heart Lake and hot springs
Heart Lake Heart Lake campground was okay, but there was no water available. I had to get it from the lake. It doesn’t sound too bad, however there was only one campsite that had access to the lake and it wasn’t mine. Fortunately, a couple of nice guys from eastern Canada had it and told

Cold and BEARS!
Wet and cold It had rained during the night at Mt. Robson Park, but a sliver of sun came out in the morning. Of course everything was soaked as I packed it up, but I was hoping for something drier ahead, so I got to work packing and loading up the bike. It always seems
Canada and Mt. Robson
Hot Vernon, BC was hot! And, the enormity of what I was wanting to do had finally hit me as I had ridden into Canada the previous day. I didn’t sleep well and the anxiety was hitting me. I talked to my family and felt much better. I loaded up the bike and hit the

Slow
A new system So I haven’t done this in a while and it took me a while to get everything sorted and packed. I didn’t hit the road until almost 0845, which for me is very late. I did get a pretty sunrise though. Sunrise at my campsite There was also a cheeky chipmunk that

Getting ready
Good day, my wonderful friends! It has been a minute since I’ve chatted to you. I hope everyone is well and happy. Planning I’ve been getting up to planning my next trip, Alaska. The plan last year, after I finished motobiking around the lower 48, was to head to Alaska in July of this year.
How far and how much
The trip In thinking over what I should say about the trip, I become overwhelmed. There is so much including how far I went, how long I travelled, what it cost, the gear, if my time researching was wasted, what I felt through the whole thing, just a lot to think about. I’ll try to

Home
Sleeping I was so excited to get home, I couldn’t sleep. Thinking a Benadryl would knock me out until it was time to get up, I took one. It didn’t work. I stayed awake most of the night and finally hit the road when the sun was fully up, about 0530. It wasn’t too bad
