Yuck!

Wow! I've never seen one of these before (and we spent years driving in BC for our vacations). Here I thought the usual RVs would be expensive to operate!

The Bartletts ride again. Wow! I feel like your story had ended abruptly last year, but I could be dreaming. I see the Baltics blog has a satisfying ending to it, now anyway. The photo of you with tandem and full gear in Parksville almost brings a tear to my eye. Full gear is something I haven't really seen in a year and a half.

But what is the bike? I thought Seavo was asleep at the Reitz farm, just as our bikes are asleep in Leipzig. Did your bike come home? with battery?

Also nostalgic/upsetting was your reference in the intro to the bakeries, breweries, and infrastructure of Europe. But you have taken the plunge into the harsh world of North American traffic, empty distances, and Covid to boot. Braver than us!

Bon courage, gute reise, and whatever Canadians say for this. We'll be following along!

It’s the Rhododendron, an old Washington State ferry. I probably rode this at some point decades ago.

Sorry you couldn’t find food for dinner. Scott teases me about extra snacks I always pack but it sure comes in handy sometimes.

When you ride the Icefields Parkway, you also want to avoid smoke season. I was just barely ahead of it in 2018 (https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/icefields/)

Sounds like a great trip! Definitely do the ice field parkway and the Rockies when you get the chance. Here’s a link to our journal when we cycled in That area. We loved it! Have a great trip.
