Hi all,
I thought that since we didn’t get to write about a lot of the stuff we got up to while we were doing it (much of the north, particularly the parts without people, doesn’t have internet), I’d post a few photos and descriptions at random.
Here’s a photo of the grizzly bear that approached us on the Dempster highway. Things were going great until it walked behind the vehicle. We turned to watch and through the small mud-free opening (where the wiper cleared the rear window) we saw nothing but bear. It had jumped up on my bike and was gnawing on the handlebars. Doug urged me to put the car in gear so I threw my camera at him and managed to pull forward a few meters. The bear decided my bike was not delicious enough to chase and ambled off down the road (probably to find one of the many insane cyclists who complete the 800km gravel road trip each year.. I imagine it already had a taste for cyclist).
