After a short 33 mile ride we are at Buckinghorse Lodge. We could have ridden further, but the next camping option is another 45 miles. We have decided to camp at established camping areas whenever possible now that we are in bear country.
We had a steep accent out of Sikanni River valley (8% grade), and it looks like another steep one first thing tomorrow out of this river valley, so we will get an early start on it tomorrow.
The road yesterday and today would seem like just a tree lined strip of pavement to most motorists going 70 mph, but there were actually several awesome view areas of the Rockies if you were on a trike.
Several fire camp trailers passed us and we saw smoke in the distance. Someone said the forrest fire is about 60 miles ahead of us.
Ok, now that we've showered, it is time to do the laundry.
