Day two wrapup.

So, I have found a clandestine campsite just west of edson. I'm sleeping on moss that's about six inches thick ->more comfortable than my own bed.

Today was rough. I had three flats, got (lightly) rained on again, and didn't really feel as strong as I could have. Also, my butt hurts. A lot. All the rain from yesterday, and today have left a bad, bad chafe. Tomorrow I get baby powder.

My mp3 player having a large memory (20 gigs) is awesome. I've got it on random, and it played a townes van zandt song about a "yellow headed devil" it was probably the high point of my day. For those who don't know, the northern trans-canada in alberta is called the "yellowhead highway" yes, yellowheaded devil.

Tomorrow I head for hinton, and put myself in striking distance of jasper. Also, foothills. I'm excited.

I'm tempted to take a day off in mt. Robson park, but I might just feel strong after I hit the hills.

Good night!

More comfy than your bed? Perhaps you should buy 800 thread count sheets and not ones from the dollar store :)
