2 days and 110 miles

After an easy cruise paralleling 93 we headed for the mountains.  A long, hard climb brought us to our first camp sight at Tuchuck - 40 mile mark. We met a nice guy named Bill from Pittsburgh who is doing the route solo. He was apprehensive of bears and was glad to have company overnight.
The next morning we were off at 7 a.m.. It was very cold. After a beautiful descent, we hit the long 12 mile climb to Red Meadow Lake. After a nice lunch we pressed on towards Whitefish. We stopped in Whitefish and had some bbq ribs which were delicious. 
We hooked up with Renae and Daniel who are following us for a couple of days about 10 miles past Whitefish.
So 110 miles in 2 days.  Not a bad start! We've done 4%!
