Teslin

Very pretty scenery, quite a lot of headwind, a pleasant and informative conversation with a local from the Marsh Lake area (according to him, it's "the Yukon," and not "Yukon," and, of course, it has to do with politics), and a very friendly guy from Teslin, who gave me an anti-bear escort with a pickup truck just west of Teslin. It's a bummer that I didn't have the camera rolling to capture the moment. A little later, I ran into him (the guy, not the bear) at a convenience store and had the opportunity to thank him.

He had passed me a few miles north/west of Teslin and then stopped and started honking after he had spotted a black bear just off the shoulder. Then, he waited for me to give me a heads-up. This was so nice. It was fun to watch a large black fur ball jump up and down and then jump in the ditch off the highway while the horn (standard Mopar stock item, I assume, based on the sound) was sounding. And I was thinking it could be even more fun to see the bear's reaction to an air horn.



And here are a few segments from Monday:
