Not Mountains Though Certainly NOT FLAT

Paul landed at the Shepherd's Inn tonight - Milepost 71. He had a big day of 104 NOT FLAT DAVID! miles. Middle son and Paul had looked at Google maps terrain view and made some erroneous conclusions that from Ft. Nelson to Dawson Creek would be fairly flat terrain. Paul said the only way it could be construed as flat was if you were to ride from one side of the road to the other. He was wiped out tonight and grateful for a day without getting rained on and no flats.
As Paul gets toward more civilization, he reports seeing lots of gas pipelines and wells - also more traffic.
He should make Dawson Creek tomorrow where there are packages waiting for him with bike shoe cleats, a new mirror, and food. Not only that, but a rest day!

P. S. I see there are some nice comments being posted lately. For those of you that are "virgin bloggers" (like me!), you do have to click on the comments to view them:)
