Tyre comes first

I leave Fort Nelson headed for Fort St John which is a larger town built for the gas and oil industry. Am nervous about this tyre problem and have lost any idea of what day it is, so its Sunday and no shops will be open. The plan is to camp out and find a tyre in the morning and the riding continues through beautiful B.C. I pull over for a morning coffee and meet two guys on a K series and Hardly Dangerous, actually a Yamaha. They ride with me into Fort St John and am invited for a tea at Davids house then a few beers with David and Kevin and am kindly invited to stay. They help me sort a tyre out which will be shipped on the greyhound bus so am having to stay another night while the tyre is bought in. David has asked me to stay over again i cant get over the kindness of the people i have met so far i hope one day i can repay them with the same in Australia.
