Not much time to write right now — I’m in the hotel lobby, waiting for Steph and Tony to finish showering — but I wanted to update everyone that we’re still alive despite not having service for two days. 
We’re currently in Whitehorse, Yukon Territories, and have had a great past couple of days. Well, today was kinda boring again, and my cold/allergies/Canadian death ick is back, but other than that, things have been great. We saw two more black bears yesterday, and I got a couple of good pictures before the bear turned to us, made direct eye contact, and took two steps directly at us. Tony and I vaulted back onto our bikes like nobody’s business and hightailed it the hell out of there. 
So where is the picture of the Bear? Love this journey!!!
Ah, there you are!
Heh, yeah, I don’t really like bears that much, so you can betcha I would not have been hanging around
GET OUT THE BEAR BELLS!!!!!!!!!!!
PULL OUT THE BEAR BELLS FOR GOD’S SAKES!!!!!
SAVE YOURSELVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why, oh why didn’t you test that bear bell????
