The Ride day 11



After 2 massive riding days today was just a little jaunt from Stewart to Prince Rupert on the coast. I might want to call it "from the Glaciers to the Sea.
Left with brilliant sunshine headed east back to the Cassiar HWY after a good night's sleep. I actually slept until 6:15 which has been unheard of on this trip.
The mountain with their snowy peaks were gleaming and my little friends the Black Bears bid me farewell at the side of the road.
What followed was a ride to remember. Wave upon wave of mountains swept past me, their Glaciers looking like frozen waterfalls, and waterfalls feeding the copper and Skeena River. As I rode west all of a sudden you turned the corner and there I was in Prince Rupert.
This is a quaint little town at the End of the TransCanada railway as well as a major port for the BC and Alaska Ferries.
I am staying at a very nice hostel here and tomorrow very early I will check out and ride the ferry for 13 hours to Port Hardy on Vancouver Island.
The adventure continues and I will try to keep you all posted
