Day 14- (July 11) (74 miles) By Brett

We started from Pink Mountain at the top of a long hill, near the legendary Suicide Hill. Nice wide shoulders, tailwind, low traffic, and beautiful vistas on this day. There was a steep, steep downhill on the ride down to Chief Siskanni River, about 16 miles into the ride. Got a picture of me using the local facilities at the lodge at the bottom. On the climb out of the river bottom, Gavin took a spill in the gravel, but no injuries. We saw four black bears on the ride, but still no live moose, only road kill. Stayed at the Prophet River Provincial Campground, where the only water is from a spring with a sign that says “Spring Water Boil Before Use”. Went by auto to Prophet River, about 9 miles away, and replenished our 5 gallon water bladder, as we’ll need the water to complete the ride into town tomorrow.
