7/20 and 7/21

I dont have long to post right now as I'm trying to get to a campground before to late.
After entering canada I headed for Bamff national park. Yellowstone has nothing on this place. The are by far the most majestic mountains% have ever seen.
I danced with clouds all day and never got wet.
I made to mt.roberts last night and set up camp. It started to rain about 10pm and didn't stop until 10am. So let the bitching about the cold begin. I waited for a brake in the rain to pack up and then hit the road. It's been raining ever since. I'm cold and wet. They tell me it's usually very nice, they can't understand way it's so bad. I tink they are in on it together. If they told you the truth why would anyone come here. Just bitching, i wouldn't miss it. If this was easy anybody could do it.
So I'm finally warm and it's time to rool

7/19 off to canada

I had a slow start due to a very comfy bed. After finally getting going I headed over to do my laundry the Christa Chaney way. I went to goodwill and picked up some new clothes and donated the old. I scored big with a pair of columbia pants for two bucks.
The ride out of the states was just a nice ride in cool weather, and smooth, straight roads.
Getting into Canada was easy. Asked me a few questions, wished me well on my trip and I was off. Fuel prices are only a bit higher, and everything else looks about the same money wise. I kept my no rain streak going, although I had to run out of the visitor center to beat a big black cloud coming my way. I made it my campsite set up my tent and crawled inside, after just a few minuets it started to rain. My new tent is excellent, I can't say enough good things about the people at REI sporting centers they saved my ass.  After the rain the temp dropped big time, who knew it gets cold here. Slept like a baby, it's so much easier in the cold than the heat.
Tomorrow I'm off to Bamf National park. I've wanted to go their for at least 30 years. When I was young my friends and I tried to put together a helicopter ski trip to bamf, but in the end we got cheap and went west. I tink that was a mistake, we should have sold everything for that trip. As you can tell I don't let trips slip past me with out a fight.
Well I'm off.

End of 7/18

I had a good time with my new friends last night. Lief was from europe and has spent the last few months riding through canada and now heads down through the states. Matt lives in montana and was just out for the weekend. Matt wound up at the campsite the same way I did. Out of time, out of luck, and welcomed with open arms by Leif.
We had a good time telling stories and comparing notes.
On a side note I broke one of the poles on my tent and was not sure what I was going to do about it. I made it work last night, but my fix was not going to last. So this morning I got on the web to see if the place I bought it from on the web had a brick and mortar some place close. With luck I found one that was right on my route. When I got there they told me the tent has been discontinued and they had no parts. Long face. Then they said they would give credit for a new tent. I left with a better tent and it cost me a total of $.07 that's right 7 cents. Back to smiling.
The rest of the ride today was hot hot hot. With a nice helping of construction zones. I was cooking. Finally I asked a road crew guy if there was some way around this mess and he showed me a way to head back into the mountains and avoid all the work zones, and I was off. In the end I decided to do indoor camping tonight as I'm heading into Canada tomorrow and I haven't had a shower in three days and they might not let me in. so a good night sleep and I'm off. When I'm in Canada I won't be posting as there is big charges from T mobil. So expect more in a few days.
Keep the comments coming.
