We had planned an early start from Waso because the day was supposed to be another hot one. We were packed, loaded and rolling by 7:30am. We were also planning on having breakfast in Ft Steele but on our arrival found out it is a heritage town with just a few gift shops. We just settled for PBJ sandwiches.
Ft Steele is a nicely restired town. We feed three clydesdale horse some carrots.
The weather was again very hot so we stopped at the Elk River for a quick dip....wow that water is cold.
Fernie is a nice ski town resort but also is a mecca for mt bikers. We are camped at Fernie Prov Park and the range said their hasn't been bears here is three weeks - comforting!
