Moving too fast to really stop and write, but still having many local vignettes.
Riding into Smithers, BC.
View from front of motel – looks like volcano sunset…
Met these two guys from the UK last night in front of motel. They are taking 6 months to go from Anchorage to Santiago, Chile. See their diary:

Great to chat with them. Amazing how many of us ‘old folks’ are out there. No one can articulate exactly why. When asked, we all say some variation of we just needed to “do it now”.
I seem to remember most of my parents generation at this age had a similar phase, but “do it now” was often to stop doing. Maybe having no pension is good for human exploration.
Also very interesting to see how people, not indoctrinated by American news media, view the US ( and Canada and Mexico). I was showing Andy and Tony maps, and their assumptions about the various locations were interesting and instructive.
Off to attempt longest day yet.
