The 4400 mile haul

This last leg of the trip put me over 25,000 miles in a little over two months - approximately the circumference of the earth! I was lucky to spend the last 2800 with one of my best friends.

We found a lot of beautiful lakes

Slept by the Kootenay River

Watched some mountain goats along the Icefields Parkway

Stopped by Lake Louise

Made a run to the Athabascan Glacier in a rainstorm

Enjoyed the clear air thereafter

Saw Athabasca Falls in the summer, versus April

Took a "scenic" route, as if the drive as a whole wasn't enough

Met cyclists Houston and Sue from Missoula after a fox chased them down the road

Got rid of a few blood-sucking mosquitoes

Followed some honeymooners on their trip of a lifetime

Soaked in an empty Liard Hot Springs 3 meter deep pool

Wandered about Watson Lake's "sign post"

Lounged on the best free car camping spot

Noted the last night of darkness for awhile

Watched the Lemond-start of the 24 Hours of Light bike race

Drank up the sunshine while it lasted

Tucked our tent away in the trees for one last night

And sent one last SPOT from the driveway! Home at last.
