This was the start. The getting back into tour mode, the oh damn bike is HEAVY again mode, and the who’s falling asleep first tent battle of the snores mode (she usually wins). Up around the Sunshine Coast we utilized the lovely BC Ferry’s and hiker biker camp grounds scattered all around. Making some of our best dumpster scores of the entire trip: literally the first morning made the best poached eggs on avocado toast that I’ve ever crafted, all from the bins. Stayed with some old friends and made some new ones. Got nearly face to face with a bald eagle. Last days living it up in the land of polite society and universal healthcare before catching the Blackball to MURICA.
