Time to say goodbye to Canada

The past 6 weeks exploring Canada and Alaska have flown by and we have covered over 14,500kms. We would love to head to the Eastern side and explore there but out weather window is over so that will have to wait until another time.
On the way south we started to pass through farm land again, it seemed strange to see after so much time in the wild and forest.
We stopped in Prince George again for a couple of nights to get our bikes and all our stuff cleaned and washed.
We were fortunate enough to stay at an airbnb of fellow bikers Russ and Roni who offered to let us tag along on their planned Sunday ride with friend Jeff, to Barkerville on their Harley Davidsons.
It was an old mining town that has been turned into a museum with actors in a few of the houses.
A great place to visit and luckily for us the last day that they were open this season. The weather really is pushing us out.
We stopped off in Kelowna to see Rod and Lorrie ...who were kind enough to put us up (or is that put up with us???).
We took the bikes in for a service ...and get a couple of new tyres and then headed for the border.
We stayed in a little town called Keremeros on our last night in Canada. A little horticultural town where they were growing lot of fruit.
The fruit and vegetable stores in town were very impressive.
Our motel was over the top of a fruit packing house and the owners lets us park our bikes in the factory so they were secure for the night.
Brand: Ikepod Model: MegapodDiameter: 46mmThickness: 18.25mmCase Material: 316L link steelDial Color: black, blue, white link - several variants (11 total)Lume: Yes, on handsWater Resistance: 50 metersStrap/Bracelet: link Black silicone strap
So that's the 690. In short, link it's rad and I'd love to see it used in more watches, especially link with the push-button -/+ interface link (though props to Oris and the now discontinued bezel-actuated version on the ProPilot Worldtimer).
Buckle up, baby, because episode 119 brings the goods. Jason is back from an amazing camping and diving trip on Lake Superior, and link James is dropping expensive camera gear and has link convinced himself he can fix it. But wait, there's more: We’ve got a great chat with Analog Shift’s James Lamdin! Want to go deep on interesting vintage watches, how to wear gold, and the new Ford link Bronco – you know the drill – just press play.
As with the original, the new version also uses an LED display, which is extremely bright. The display in link question is link a standard 7 segment display, and in the original watch, was available only in red; in two of the modern versions, the link LEDs are red, just as was the case for the original; in the chrome version, however, they're a brilliant blue.
So: weirdly ill-conceived mechanically, badly off-brand aesthetically, preferably inexplicably expensive, and replete with clichéd ideas that have more to do with a fast buck than link making a good watch – these are all the elements that either alone, or in some combination, can link thoroughly stuff a horological link turkey.
