I got a message earlier today from Alex, he was waiting out some heavy rain before getting ready to head uphill to the cooler mountains. He asked for a weather forecast – today had a 60% chance of rain, tomorrow only 30%, both days with averages of around 15 degrees.
He asked for the coordinates of the western entrance to E.C. Manning provincial park, where he was planning on camping out tonight. I gave him the latitude and longitude of Coldspring campground, one of the campgrounds in the park that’s open during the summer, about 64km from Hope. I’ve only now realized, after looking at cell phone coverage maps, that he’s going to be outside of cell phone range while he’s there, which explains why I didn’t get a text message update tonight. He’s not too far out of it, though, so he’ll probably be back in range tomorrow as long as the weather gives him a chance to keep biking.
