We were both excited to get back on the Dempster after our foray up the ITH. We\u2019ve had four fantastic days of riding to get to Eagle Plains. But after eight straight days in the saddle it\u2019s time for a REST DAY!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few details from recent days:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continue to find fantastic campsites when we need them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect spot just north of Midway Lake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Midway Lake is an interesting temporary town where locals build camps that they mostly use for one long weekend in August for a music festival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several people have asked how bear storage is different than our last trip. There aren\u2019t tall enough trees up here to do a regular bear hang so we brought Ursaks, bear resistant bags that you secure to something sturdy. We put our food in scent-proof bags and hope for the best. It\u2019s working so far!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
