Day 29 - 87 km

     We ate leftovers for breakfast and even brought some for the road.  We rode away from Russ’s house at around noon.  Our experience with Russ was a great success.
     We rode out of Fort Saint John with no problem but after the small town of Taylor we hit a 5 km brutal climb with a headwind.  
     On Russ’s recommendation I took a short detour off the main road to the Kiskatenaw wooden bridge.
     We rode through Dawson Creek and “Mile 0” of the Alaska Highway and took pictures.
     Kosuke and I went to Wal Mart and bought ice cream while we waited for Paul.  We found a nice campsite in a field of grass just outside Dawson Creek.  We slept with  the doors of the tent open to allow better ventilation and reduce condensation in the tent.

Saying thank you and goodbye to Russ.

I added a Canadian flag.
