Three Bears.

















No, Nothing too interestingt. Just that I saw three black bears crossing the road at various places today (one at a time). They were all suitably cautious of the road and vehicles too, which was good to see. Habituated bears are not so cautious and end up as dead bears.

Its been great riding... Really nice highways all the way. There are lots of motorbikes out touring too. I was a bit surprised to see that by far the most common type of bike I encounter is the Harley!
There were ten times as many of them as any other type. But that was South of Prince George. Ive Just got into Fort Nelson at the far North East corner of BC and there are far fewer riders and far less Harleys... The roads are still magnificent but I guess its a bit far for most people.
The bugs are thick up here and everyone drives 350 sized 4x4 pickups (usually with a big 4x4 ATV loaded in the back to boot :)

From here I head more or less NW into Yukon and then West to Alaska.

Riding is good :))
