Great story! I'm glad you enjoyed it in the end. Most of the real Canadians live outside of the city, and they usually have big hearts.
I'm in Vancouver. I just bought an ebike that I'm planning on riding 100 miles east of here to go camping in the mountains for a few days. I'm getting old and it might be the last chance I ever get.
Nice. The trip sounds 'squatchy'.
I had to look that up...
Where I'm going is definitely Sasquatch territory.
Here's a couple of pictures of the area, from when I camped there a few years ago:

Five miles up a logging road from Hope, BC, I'm in the thick of it and completely alone with nature.
We have had our debates in the past, but I've always valued the debate Your bike is beautiful in a sense that an adventure is at hand, I have an 'old' touring ten-speed from the early '70s equipped with an ancient Brooks leather seat and Campagnolo shifters and breaks, but they have long lacked the adventure you're planning, The trip itself is a testament and expose of your mind. Thank you for sharing this with me, Years ago I relished occasions like this. I still do. Times have changed.
