Stewart, BC to Beaumont Provincial Park, just beyond Fraser Lake

Had some rain on our way out of Stewart this morning...they get a lot of rain here when it is warm, and tons of snow in the winter. A couple of years ago, they got 37 feet in town! There was a little low lying cloud cover as we went back up the canyon, and the waterfalls were going off!

After riding south on 37 to the Skeena River, we turned east on 16. Along this road we saw lots of farms, ranches, and the world's largest fly rod. We also ran into a father-and-son team (Peter and Matthew) from Montreal, who we'd first met back in Dawson City. They were both riding XR 650's. Some men bond over a common football team or a love of fishing. Mark and Peter bonded over their shared history of having had their driver's licenses revoked as teenagers for going too fast on motorcycles!


We shared a campsite, beer and lots of laughs!

Odometer: 8529 miles
