    Getting Through The Prairies As Fast As Possible

    The prairies still suck. That is all. But also, I've been driving a lot and I am exhausted! At this point I just want to teleport.

    Taking The Scenic Route Through the Okanagan and Jasper Is Worth It

    I've taken the scenic route through BC and Alberta back to Edmonton and it has been amazing. The Okanagan Valley and the Icefield Parkway is stunning. I had to keep pulling off to the side of the road to get photos and videos of the views I was seeing. Must do for anyone making this trip.

    Interviews With a Stranger: Jeremy Meneses

    I said from I think the fourth day of this trip that I needed to interview someone who was biking across Canada and today I made that happen! I met Jeremy through a Facebook Group that we're both in, https://www.facebook.com/groups/yesfamcanada (Yes Fam Canada), and knew I had to have him on the podcast. We connected earlier in the trip through Instagram and found out that we'd be crossing paths briefly in Jasper so we made it happen! I asked questions like: Has he shit in a hole on the side of the road (a question I get a lot) Where does he shower? (another one I get a lot) Why he's doing this trip and why now What is he hoping to take away from this trip and much more Make sure to follow him and his story on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jer_bikes/ (@jer_bikes)! He's going to start documenting a bit more hopefully so here's to the start of that! Make sure to follow me too while you're at it https://www.instagram.com/lukeblessed/ (@lukeblessed)

    Completing The Grouse Grind and Starting the Trek Home

    On my last full day in Vancouver I did the Grouse Grind and met up with a couple old friends from my high school days. So it was a great day! I also talk a bit about my feelings of starting the trek home shortly and some of the emotions I think I will be processing over the next couple weeks.

    Hiking Panorama Ridge and Soaking in the Amazing Views

    An 11 hour hike isn't the most fun thing in the world but we did it anyways! It was a long day done on little sleep but it was so worth it. The views are amazing and some of the best I've seen on this trip. In the evening I went to my friend Alex's photo print party and got an awesome piece.
