Well, so much for relying on technology for photos, communications and navigating. Works well until… it doesn’t work! My phone died yesterday, so I am now traveling old style without being able to communicate easily until I reach a town big enough to get a new phone. So it may take a few days before I can update my blog again. I am now in McBride, a couple days away from Jasper, then Banff, and Canmore. Accumulating stories, and looking…
After many weeks of riding in fairly remote places, the last few days have been quite different. I now ride from one town to another, traveling lighter as I don’t need to carry as much food and water. I stayed an extra night in Smithers to meet a friend of friend, Francoi, who lives in Driftwood, just north of town. It was a good climb to get there, but it was worth it.

The StewartCassiar was a pretty amazing road to ride on. And I had a really great time sharing this leg of the journey with Rick and Deb, two adventurers…
It’s only been a couple of days since I wrote my last post (gotta take advantage of the few places where I can get internet access!) but I feel like this is a new chapter again! After a very lazy day in Nugget City, I rode a few kilometers on the Stewart-Cassiar to camp near a small lake. It’s become a habit now whenever possible: I jump into a lake when I am done riding. I love it. That night…
