first camp

We found our first camp and set up with just enough time before sundown. We were delayed in Vancouver while looking for a double kickstand for my bike with no luck. It's Amazing the kind of things that become valuable when doing trips like this! Kick stands with super heavy packs is almost a must.

The way here was pretty funny - we anticipated a 1hr ride to camp but it ended up being double that since we spent an hour going uphill. Now we know - from here in, distance on a map will be irrelevant without elevation information :p

We got to use our little trangia stove. This thing is genius engineering. Tiny little stove with pots, pans, and a kettle. All collapses into a tiny space. We made "tex mex" chili. It was interesting but we're glad we brought salt in our little spice missile :p
