Day 3 of the Ride

What a marvelous day for a ride. A cloudless sky temperatures in the high 60s great roads and very little traffic.
Started out early and crossed into Canada about 6:45 in the morning. In spite of the warnings nobody here follows the speed limits so I rode casually but speedy singing "How Great Thou Art" through areas of glacial beauty to raging rivers past places called Hells Gate ( rapids on the Fraser River) a mountain called Jackass Mountain , Clinton, Lac La Hache and finally Prince George where I ended up this afternoon.
At times it felt like Bavaria, other times like riding along the Mogollon Rim and then it switched to wooded rolling hills with forests' flowers, lakes and rivers everywhere.
Lunch was at Lac la Hache at the Edelweiss Cafe. Owned by an Austrian couple they served me a great Gulash soup and a mini Schnitzel.(Kinderteller) All that was missing was a beer but that does not go with riding a bike.
The only thing that saddened me was to see the millions of trees dying from the Pine bark beetle attack. Whole sections of the forest were dead or dying but there is nothing that can be done short of setting everything on fire to destroy this horrible bug.
As Philip said when we witnessed last weeks earthquake, nature has a way of showing us just how little we can do in so many instances.
Today's ride was the shortest about 395 miles and tomorrow will be the beginning of the Alaska highway at Dawson Creek.
Again wish me luck I love you all very much!
