The boys had their sites set on Burns Lake, British Columbia as the destination for today. Brrr....it was a
brisk morning as they left Jasper. The thermometer read 39 degrees!
They exited Jasper on Route 16 right through Jasper National Park. Right off the bat they saw this beauty, a big bull Elk, standing on the side of the road.
The six rolled cautiously past that bull Elk continuing down the road. They had traveled about ten miles when they spied this Grizzly hanging out down by the side of the road in a little ravine. Of course they had to stop and watch the bear, from a safe distance.
They watched the bear for almost 15 minutes, nobody else happened by, they had the bear all to themselves.
Tiring of watching the bear, they went on eventually leaving Alberta and reaching British Columbia. The guys reported that the low hanging clouds made for an interesting sky all morning.
You've heard it before. You can't make this stuff up.
It's either pretty chilly or David is planning some sort of heist! Fred could be the witness.
A stop at Mt. Robson Park
Fred spotted this little coffee shop, a great place for a seat break.
The guys have now crossed another time zone.
Pacific Mountain Zone has them 3 hours different from home.
Check out the odometer.
They have reached the 3,000 mile mark from Indianapolis, where the adventure began.
Fred, David, Ron, Joe, Mike and Stu make the obligatory stop at the Harley store.
Rumor has it that RP acquired a heated jacket, yes, RP.
The staff at the Harley store gave the group a must see tip for tomorrow.
They are working this into their plan.
The afternoon scenery changed to mostly pasture land surrounded by large wooded areas. Pine trees were being harvested and the fellas passed several lumber mills.
Lodging is beginning to become scare in these small towns.
Let's hope a stay at the Sunshine Inn will keep the rain at bay for the remainder of the trip.
