Day 1. Make it across the Canadian border from Seattle only to have the bike die. Stater was fried. Only had a couple of hours to make plans. Decided to rent a car, drive back to Seattle and rent a bike because repairs would take almost a week. On July 5th we drive down to Seattle, visited the dealer who promptly purchased my bike back, headed to Eaglerider, rented a bike and got underway back to Canada around 2 pm. We made it to Hope, BC around 7:30 pm tired but happy our long journey had finally begun.

Long distance riding and life in general requires you to overcome obstacles every day and have backup plans for your backup plans. Tomorrow, on to Prince George, BC.
