Not scared of a hairy weber eater. Left Denver on fri AM after a realy nice stay with Di and Jack “thanks”, and headed for yellowstone, stopped to spend the night near the enterence, camped in a camp site, a guy came over and introduced himself, heard i was from SA, brought beer and we sat and talked rugby, he played for America, 2 games against the boks, way back when. Played with Naas in Dallas. Yellowstone is still covered in snow, and the lakes are still frozen over, could not get accomodation in the park as it was full. Managed to get camping at the west enterence, on the river, the bison came over and nearly ate my tent, with me in it, a whole heard was arround me, with babies. Saw grizly bear, got some shaky video of him, I think he wished he had’nt woken up as it was still so cold, also saw elk, deere, lots of bison, sheep and other stuff. I am on my way to Seattle and will stay with Jim and Vyv for a couple of nights, then head on up to Canada. The Canadian rockies are meant to be stunning, and further north there are lots of bears, so you have to hang your food in a tree, and have none in your tent, or you may become bear food.It is still damn cold, luckily i did’nt get rid of my winter gear in central america, still ride through showers and lots of cold. We will see as I go further north. Every where I stop people come over , ask where i’m from, where i’m going, they just love what i’m doing. The people here are the best, many have invited me to stay, all wish the best of luck, others want to read my book, so I may have to write one, yea right. But all in all it is majic and still not finished yet, Pruedhoe Bay is the target, a few more weeks. More later
