Today was slightly less smoky than yesterday. There are no fires in the direction we are headed. So our thru hike will continue.

Last night we ate at Earl’s Restaurant. I ate 2 dinners. We went back for a 2nd breakfast at 11am. And then I had a 3rd and 4th of the same thing. I did get the 4th as a takeaway. I think now I am fully recharged. Avocado toast plus egg. I can’t believe I ate 6 eggs today.

We made our Canada exit plans today. We should finish at Mt Robson on August 12th. Then a bus, rental car, bus and train should get me to Seattle in time for my niece’s birthday.

We are staying at the Jasper Downtown Hostel. Sleeping in a room with 8 people is a challenge. Luckily I am a pretty good sleeper.

Outside the hostel I met this man from South of London. He and his wife are riding from Jasper to Mexico and and planning on taking 3 months. Everything on the bike looks brand spanking new. Viewsfromtheback.com
