THe weather is sunny for the first and the last day this week. 50 k from white horse and a new tire. If we ahve to walk our bikes it will be good training for the marathon.

Day 85 Dease Lake- the middle of wilderness

Ben had a fairly bad crash on his bike, but is still in working order. We are battling constant rain, hail and cold but are surviving in Dease Lake right now. Everything is beautiful and complete wilderness. We are still sticking with our goal to finish 15 days from today. We are stocking up for another 7 days of wilderness and will further update when we reach civilization once again.

Leaving from Smithers (LeAnn)

 Last night we stayed at a couple's house from the Warmshowers website in Smithers. We biked a hard 90 miles yesterday after waking up fairly late in the morning and were very happy to have a comfortable, warm bed to sleep in.

We are just about to leave from Smithers, BC and head up the Stewart-Cassiar Hwy. We have about 1200km of beautiful open highway in front of us before we hit any major towns, so we are stocking up on lots and lots of pasta and staples for the long road ahead. I am very excited to be in the heart of wilderness in British Columbia! About 3 more weeks to Anchorage!

Day 72 One more day in Prince George (LeAnn)

We are staying in Prince George another night due to some bike repairs. The weather has been amazing so far with clear skies and beautiful sunny weather. Yesterday, a man pulled over on the side of the highway as we were entering the city, handed us a colorful $5 canadian bill and told us to buy ourselves some icecream. (Canadians sure love their icecream!)

Last night we stayed with a very nice couple and their dog and cat in the city. We ate sweet corn and shish kabobs roasted over the fire for dinner. Then this morning they made us some delicious homemade waffles topped with icecream and warm blueberry syrup. Good food and a nice warm bed have helped us regain our strength again for the miles ahead.

Prince george-day 71

We have arrived at prince george, only a few bear incidents, no deaths, only broken spokes. We have been in the most beautiful wilderness we have ever seen. And now we leave for the 1000 k stretch of absolute wilderness, farwell, we will hopefully come back.

Day 69 We made it to Dunster!

Over 500 miles into Canada, we just stayed with a wonderful couple in Dunster. They even let us sleep in their sheep wagon last night! We are a few days from Prince George and should be able to further update the blog when we get there. Everything is going well and we are having the time of our lives. British Columbia is absolutely amazing!
