We started our day off seeing two huge moose as roadkill-not a great site. We were grateful that we stopped driving last night when we did because that could have been us hitting those magnificent creatures. Counting our blessings, we continued driving on to the Cassier Highway in British Columbia. As we were driving through the gravel sections of road under construction, we heard a horrifying noise. It sounded like a large clunking and scraping sound. It was so loud that the car behind us stopped to see if we needed help. Thankfully, we realized that Amber's spare tire had just fallen off underneath the van. Mike quickly fixed the situation and we rolled on. We stopped at the Dease River to have lunch. We met a nice couple traveling the same route as us but starting off in New York (and we thought we had quite a drive). As we continued on our journey, a bee smacked Mike in the neck and then proceeded to go down his shirt and sting him two or three times while he was driving. Being the amazing person he is, he said "I would much rather it be me than you Kelly. I took one for the team." If anyone knows me, I am allergic to bee stings! In our last stretch before stopping we saw a calf moose and a black bear. Finally we stopped at Bell 2 Lodge in the Skeeny Mountains. We got a tent site and then soaked our smelly bodies in the hot tub. It was fantastic! To end the night we had a couple beers with the guys (Alex and Ryan) next to us. They were traveling by bicycle from Anchorage to Panama City all by themselves. That is hard core! Wow, is all we can say. Their blog site is http://www.pedalingforpeople.org/
