Endms93 and the Kona Sutra arrived back in Canada yesterday afternoon, cleared customs at 1:00 pm. The road from Whitefish to the Tobacco Plains area is officially the worst strip of pavement on US Route 93, Badly in need of a major overhaul, full of cracks, pot holes and crumbling shoulders or no shoulders; I shredded a continental Tire that was supposed to last for 3000 miles.

After a cautious 17 mile ride ;on a shredded rear tire;from the border to the Junction of 93 and 3 I was picked up at the junction Dairy Bar (best soft ice cream on Route 93)
Best Soft Ice Cream on route 93!
By my brother and taken to the Ski Base Bike Base shop to have the tire repaired. I spent a great evening in Elkford at the home of the Fire Chief Bernie and his wonderful Wife Michelle (my sister in law).
Huge Steak dinner and a nice soft bed.

Good to see you back in Canada on the final leg of your journey. Travel safe and don’t let the weather get you down as each Km is just that much closer to home and the end of your adventure. Ride safe and keep the eyes in the back of your head open.
