Today we rode 42 miles to Watson Lake. On our way into town we passed a weigh station and asked if they would weigh us. They were nice enough to do it and Cal's whole unit (including him) weighs 150 kg. Mine weighs in at 130 kg. People had been asking us all along the way how much our gear weighed, now we know.
When we got here we discovered the town was celebrating their 25th anniversary with a free BBQ, so you can we were right there.
Cal and I have worn off all the fat on our back sides and the trikes were getting hard on the hip bones, so we found some chair cushions today to soften the ride on the 3/4 inch chip and seal.
While on the road today, we were stopped by a couple who had seen us on Peterson Mountain and taken a photo of us. We are looking forward to getting a copy of that photo from them soon.
Wildlife count today -- 3 black bears and more buffalo. Cal spooked one of the bison and we thought it might charge, but it decided to dart across the road a couple times and then run for the hills.
