Salt Springs is a nice Government Campground and had a great place to hang the hammock.
Another plus is that it’s only 5 miles from a wonderful food stop! And the answer is, “No.” I did not order a Sasquatch Burger, though I did think about it.
The camp host has been especially courteous and friendly.
Too many smoking campfires and have degraded the experience a lot, but maybe all these young, and not-so-young, people have never been taught how to properly start or sustain a non-smoking fire.
Dances With Wolves has come to mind more than a few times, especially around midnight with multiple fires still smoldering and smoking, but I only brought a slingshot and no bow or arrows. My bad. (cough, cough)
I’ve had a pretty tough week or two dealing with the traffic in and around big cities, and I’m sort of disillusioned with the Journey at this point.
Actually, I think I’m developing a bit of road-rage with all the loud, stinky vehicles and the plethora of careless, thoughtless drivers that I’ve recently encountered.
At this point I could really use some peace and quiet, so it’s probably for the best that I had to stay at Salt Creek for an extra two days because it was the weekend and no other camping places were available until Sunday night.
Oh well.
I just need to remember how many things I have to be thankful for and count my blessings one by one.
And that is always a Very Good Idea…

Been following your journey Rich. Sorry that you didn’t get to Fairbanks as per original plan but it still looks like you had the trip of a lifetime! We really enjoyed our trip through your state and we definitely noticed the very ample shoulders on the highways down there versus those in Canada!
Thanks Harvey. Most people have no idea how much bicyclists rely on having clean shoulders of at least two feet wide, especially if it’s windy or lots of large trucks. If you don’t know why, read Day 2 of the blog for a primer. Thanks for following and thanks for sharing the road with us bipeds!
Keep up the good work Rich ! Canada misses you!
Thanks Shawn. I hope that you and the kids are having some great summer days together. Enjoy the sunshine while you can!
