So we are sort of back in civilization. We were out of it for a while. When we pulled in to Stewart on the Alaskan border, a town with a bar and a hotel and a cafe and some houses, we realised that this was the busiest place we had been to (or through) in several days. We had been North. I really liked it.
After we left “North”, we started getting into busier and bigger towns. There is much more traffic on the roads now. “North”, we were riding for hundreds of kilometers at a time without seeing another vehicle.
Todays ride was dry and warm (it’s all relative of course) and we covered a lot of miles (around 400). The riding was fast and fun. Not a day for taking pictures, not because I didn’t want to, just when you have overtaken a bunch of trucks and R.V.s it seems sort of rude to stop on the side of the road to snap a pic and then just blast past them again a few minutes later.
We left very early this morning and were treated to a fine sunrise. The scenery has changed from hard, jagged mountains covered in trees and glaciers to softer, rolling hills covered in trees. There are lakes (so many lakes) and little creeks and ponds at every turn.
There are farms now among the trees, with big rolls of hay fresh from harvest, the smell of the country side has replaced the crisp mountain air.
And there are trees. Have I mementioned the trees? There are SO MANY trees! If you were to replace all the trees with people, there would be SO MANY people! It would be like an enourmous forest of people. You could not count them all, even if you could, you would not.
We stopped for breakfast at a place called Prince George, we had passed through there on our way North. MyMateChris and I have laughed about it frequently because when we pulled in to town, we asked a couple of locals for a recommendation for a breakfast spot. We were told by two separate people that there were no restaurants in Prince George and we would have to go to A&W for a burger (fast food). We looked on google on our phones and there are hundreds of restaurants in Prince George.
I am not sure what town we stopped in that had this statue, it made me giggle.
