So, this is me biking across the country

Hopefully I'll have computer access often enough to post updates...I'm biking across Canada this summer. Leaving Vancouver June 28th, arrive in St. John's NFLD on Labour Day weekend.

Photos and stuff will be posted here (photos probably also on facebook), and I'd love to hear your encouragements and such via email or facebook.

my first ever “Tropical Depression”

Hurricane

Tropical Storm

Tropical Depression

So…last night, we got 3.5 inches of rain, and winds that were something like 60kph.  The storm was downgraded from hurricane status (which was good for us) but it was still pretty wiked.  A bunch of us barricaded off an open air picnic shelter at the camground with a combination of our 5 ton truck, 2 picnic tables, 2 folding tables, a cook cart, rope, and 2 huge tarps.  A bit of water got in, a bunch of wind, and one skunk (didn’t spray, just wanted to cuddle with John M. I think).  It was a cozy little place by the time all was set up.  Needless to say, 9 people took rooms at close-by B&Bs, but I’m glad we stuck it out.  The locals were saying it was too windy to tent
