OUR MID-DAY EXCURSION on the URAL bike had us heading south on Inland Highway 19A approximately 58 kilometers south to Washington Way on to Strathcona Parkway. After a short jaunt down the highway we came across a wooden sign inviting us into Bear Creek Nature Park. We love taking side roads and look forward to the adventures that may come up.
We barely made it through the first turn in the path before we ran out of gas. We carry three gas cans attached to the bike and always have reserve. While Frank replenished the tank, I sprang out of the sidecar and walked leisurely around the area. The warm summer weather allows me to sport shorts, a T-shirt, my trusty leather jacket and my Department of Transport (DOT) helmet.
The bear-warning signs were everywhere and so I kept within shouting distance to the only other human in the area. We hiked a few trails and listened to the birds chirping their excitement about the intruders, the gurgling of the creek and the whisper of wind fluttering the leaves in a southeasterly direction.

We boarded the bike and roared down the road that took us back to the highway and home.
