Departed Waterfowl Lakes after talking with a friendly guy from Edmonton. He gave us the scoop on the road to our North and the big mountain we had to go up to get to our next stop at Honeymoon Lake Campground. At 30 miles, we hit the big hill with the boys on single bikes and me and Madison on the tandem. What a climb! It never seemed to end. After getting to the top, we coasted down to the Columbia Icefields Interpretive Center and switched out riders. Riding down the mountain was fun, but the fun came at a price, as the gaps on the road were extremely jarring…but no accidents. Rode the bikes to a Honeymoon Campground. Only running water is from a cistern and when you run over and get it, but the place is nice. We went into Jasper and had a very nice pizza meal at Jasper Pizza. On the way in we saw two black bears, a herd of elk, and 10 goats. Day off on 3 July to update our website and rest sore muscles.

Looks like you guys are well on your way! Think you'll ever get tired of PB&J and pizza? The pics look just as I imagined they would...I am sure its much more breathtaking in person. Good to see that you had back up plans it was funny that Brett mentioned last month that just his luck there would be some Canadian holiday to contend with. Things here are just the same...I try to get ahead at work so I can train. July will be a monster month culminating with RAGBRAI at the end. My body is holding together but I am tired a lot. Kali and Mia say HI! Stay safe and look forward to reading more...Tom
