day 1

We head out to Williams Lake for our first step of the journey. We saw our first bear just south of Stoner. We hit most weather patterns, including rain, a beautiful sunset, stars, and one satellite just outside of Williams Lake.
The bike rode well after I adjusted to the additional weight. Everything fit well with a bit of room to spare. My butt however is still adjusting to the vibration.
Hopefully tomorrow, good weather and out to Anaheim Lake. We will try to find a forestry campsite and then on Sunday we will head to Bella Coola and hit the ferry Monday morning to Port Hardy. This is our only real deadline, although it wouldn't be the end of the world if we missed the ferry, we would just detour and make up a different trip. I probably won't be able to post until the island when I hit a Internet cafe. (dad)
