We had a little bit of everything today. We started early to try to get some miles behind us before the wind kicked in but hit wind right away. Soon we were putting on our rain gear, then taking it off and putting it on again all day long. We are finally sitting at our prettiest campground yet on at island in the middle of the peace river(40 miles). We took a 10K longcut to ride a section of the "original" Alaska Highway and cross the only original timber bridge still in use, the Kiskatinaw River Bridge. Then we ventured SLOWLY down the 10% grade to the Peace River. They are bringing our firewood soon, so it should be my kind of evening. I just need to look around for a good poking stick.
