When we left the cabin where Greg and Lea were staying, we agreed to meet there again at 8 for breakfast. Unfortunately our alarm didn't go off, so we didn't wake up til a little after 8. Once we were all packed up, we headed over to their cabin and found out they had slept in a little too, so all was good. Greg had made some oatmeal, because that is what they have for breakfast too, and made enough for all four of us! It was really nice to be able to enjoy breakfast with them and was a lot of fun watching Ranja play. As we were talking, we found out that they got married in August too, on the 20th!! What a coincidence that was! We discussed our routes and found out that after they head to Jasper and the park area, they are heading to Vancouver. Since they have to ride a lot less distance everyday, they will be to Vancouver around the same time we will! So we plan to meet up with them there and ride with them for a while down the coast. We're really excited because it would be really fun to get to share the adventure with them (they have a website too: family-pedaleros.blogspot.com where they have some great pictures!). After breakfast, we said our goodbyes with plans to see each other again in Vancouver. It was cloudy and looked like it was going to rain again today. The ride into Smithers was pretty quick as it was only about 12km. We met a couple (Brian and Hillary) from Ontario, CA riding from Calgary down the West Coast. They weren't 100% positive on their final destination, they just know they have until October before they are finished. Just before town, we met a kid named Jason who was riding into town. We rode and chit chatted with him the rest of the way to town until we got to the grocery store to make sure we had enough food for a while. From there, we went to the bike shop to pick up a few more spokes to have on hand since we knew they gave us the right size. Our plan was to stop at the library to upload some pictures, but it was closed, so we just went to McDonald's to fill up on water. Since we were already getting hungry, or at least we thought we were, we stopped at a Dairy Queen because they had picnic tables out front. We made some more bologna sandwiches since we had almost a whole loaf of bread and a package of bologna left. Once our bellies were full we headed out of town. We met a lady from Germany riding from Alaska (she took the ferry to Prince Rupert). She didn't have a plan as to where she was riding, and no real final destination. It didn't take it too long to get to the next town, which was Moricetown. We took a break there on the front porch of a building that was closed. Joe had a couple more sandwiches to use up what was left and I worked on my blog. Surprisingly there was internet there, so we were able to check out Greg and Lea's website a little better. The next 25 miles or so went by pretty quick. There were some hills here and there and the rain was off and on. Our planned stop for the night was New Hazelton. Just before town, Joe stopped and said "look behind you." Apparently there was a bear that walked across the road behind me as I was flying downhill. The bear must have been moving too quick, because I didn't get to see him. Once we got there, we rode around for a little bit before finding a nice park that had a shelter with picnic tables. We made dinner under there glad to be out of the rain. As we were finishing dinner, the sun came out for a little bit and there were patches of blue sky, which was much appreciated since all we have seen lately are grey cloudy skies. A nice lady (who's name we found out later was Hazel) that was on here evening walk with her puppy dog stopped to talk to us for a while and inquired about our trip. She continued on and then a while later on her way back through the park stopped again. After talking with us for a while she offered for us to stay in her extra bedroom! We were so excited and gladly accepted the offer. So, we packed up our stuff from having dinner and headed down the road to her house. There was a nice place to lock up our bikes in the shed so we didn't have to worry about them. We each had a wonderful shower and had fun playing with her puppies: Misty and Daisy. While we watched TV, Hazel made each of us a really tasty fruit smoothie. What another amazing day. We were so happy to sleep in a bed because we know we will be camping for probably a week straight at least while we are making our way up the Stewart Cassiar Highway. Tonight we stayed in a town that is at the same latitude as the most southern point of Alaska. We rode 55.72 miles today.
