Day 22 - 117 km

     We woke up early and started riding in good weather.  We soon got into the Northern Rocky Mountains.  We climbed hills through Muncho Lake and made it to the Toad River area.  Paul and I were both tired having stayed up late at the hot springs the previous night.
     We made camp near a gravel pit beside the highway.  As we were setting up our tents we saw two bears dart from the bushes about 40 feet from us and run into the woods.  We ate pasta for dinner and we hung our food up on a telephone pole to keep it away from bears.

Hanging the food on a pole so bears can't get it.
