Cranbrook

Well, we are in Cranbrook. Our campsite is not glamorous. And we certainly aren't either. The ride today was fairly easy. We had a relaxed start to the day and then seemed to spend most of the day going down hill. We biked the length of the Moyie Lake. Last night we spent the night in Yahk, at the provincial park there. Yahk is a pretty small place. We've also been to Wynndel where we were able to meet up with Pat's relative Jill and her family. They frequently get deer, coyotes, black bears, grizzlies, and herds of elk on their expansive valley farm property. They were very nice and feed us moose meat burgers. Brgrs? k? Moose brgrs? k. The days are still beautiful. We are fortunate to spend almost the entire day out doors, everyday. Naturally we get to see many awesome things daily such as the mountains, storms, wild life and we do lots of cloud gazing in the late afternoon and evening at the campsite. Neal and I saw a deer couple. Prom king and prom queen at the deer prom. They were separated by the road with us in between. The male, with his antlers just beginning to show, bounded across the street and they had a romantic reunion. Patrick made some delicious eggs for breakfast today with the new frying pan that we purchased. Check for excellent purchase. Yesterday we decided it was incredibly majestic listening to Sigur Ros in the mountains. We all love when birds fly with us. Every now and then a bald eagle or some great blue herons will fly just above us and follow our journey. These things often lead to conversations about Legend of Zelda. We're aiming to get to Lethbridge Alberta in four days. We also happen to have a random connection there for a place to crash. We all hope things are well back home. Willem, Neal and Patrick.
