Timo Kallmeyer

August 21, 2024, 🇨🇦 Elk Island NP - Moss Lake Trail (2)

There we go! Wildlife! Finally! The guy walked with me for a couple hundred meters. Unfortunately though, he was rather slow, so when I was able to pass him, I had to speed up to make it to my hotel in time tonight. The cycling paid off, as I was quite speedy. My already sore muscles will be thanking me tonight...
