Just after 15 minutes,  there was no more houses or towns, it was only roads, nature and his bike. It was amazing, the scenery was beautiful. Up ahead Danny could see a good snowy mountain view and there were green Canadian trees surrounding the road. 

Danny cycled with a luggage tide on the back of his bicycle, and he was also wearing his backpack while biking. While cycling, Danny zipped up his jacket since it was starting to get even colder, John wore his thick winter jacket. Danny rarely experience cold weathers since New York was burning hot all the time, unlike Canada.

"I think i don't regret  using a bike anymore for this highway anymore John." Danny said while cycling.

"I knew you wont." John replied happily.

"Oh ya, did you stock up on enough food?" Danny asked,

"Yeah, but its only for 3 days though." replied John,

"So, is there any markets around?" Danny asked.

John took up his phone, and went to the google maps app, 

"Yeah, Farmington Fair ways, it has a store, its in the kilometre 23.6." John said,

"oh, ok."

They were still in km 5 , they were cycling slow.

"Lets speed up." Danny said while he is looking at his phone in one hand and the other hand at the bike.

"Hey, don't use your phone while cycling." John warned,

"Fine, lets speed up anyways."

They both cycled faster. While cycling faster they past beautiful mountains and environment, it was like a dream, they also past a modern village and ignored that it had public toilets. The village was just a few houses on the side of the road, it was small, very small. While cycling there was more trucks than cars passing the road, maybe its because of business.

They were now in the 15th kilometre and they both past a small public toilet on the side of the road. 

"Hey, stop!" Danny said quickly while stopping his bike,

"Yeah, what." 

"I want to take a piss." Danny said,

"Oh ok, same as me." John replied.

They both hopped out of their bikes and put their bags on top of their bikes and walked to the public toilet.
The toilet looked clean and new, maybe it has just been built a year ago. After that, they both went out and put on their bags and resumed biking the highway.

They were now in the 23.6 kilometre and they could see Farmington store right in front of them. The store was not as small as Danny thought it would be, it had a decent size. It looked less modern than the other stores in New York. Next to the store was a camp site and a car park.

Danny and John went to the market and bought the supplies they needed

Danny and John went to the market and bought the supplies they needed. Danny bought some potato chips for himself, some instant food, and some roasted potatoes with rice for his dinner. John bought instant food and an instant curry for his dinner.

They both went to the cashier and payed their bill. Then they both went outside of the store, and hopped on they're bikes. It was already Afternoon and the sun is starting set.

"John, lets find a place to camp." Danny said,

"Wait, theres a camp site next to this store." John replied

"Oh, right."

They went to the camp site next to the store, the camp site area also had a decent size. There were only about 5 tents and some RV's on the the area of the camp site. After that they both started set up both of their camps. They both set up 2 different camps, because Danny and John didn't want to sleep in the same tent, since they know both of them are very loud sleepers. The sun has set and its now night time, Danny could see a bright quarter moon in front of him

"Done!" Danny sighed in relief as he accomplished the last bit of setting up his tent. Danny waited for a minute for John to finish setting up his green coloured tent. After John finished his tent, they both bring their dinner and went to a camp fire at the centre of the of the camp site. It had wooden logs around the camp fire and the whole people in the camp site gathered around the camp fire. 

There were only about 10 people

There were only about 10 people. Some of the people were business men that is trying to get to Alaska for business, and the rest were just normal people with jackets who want to adventure to Alaska. There were no awkward silence, the people they're were having a conversion with each others as if they were friends. Danny opened his plastic lunch box and took out his plastic spoon and fork. He started eating his roasted potatoes that he bought from the market nearby. At the same time, John was also making his instant curry by mixing some water and the powder and heating it from a cheap battery powered small heater that was made in China. 

They both started eating their food.

"Hey kid, where ya from." a father with the long beard asked

" New York." Danny answered.

"New York, thats far man!" The father replied.

After that everyone around the camp fire started opening and drinking their canned bear. Then some other guy in a business suit offered Danny and John a can of beer. Danny drank half of the beer and he didn't like it, so he gave it to John. Mean while, John chugged the whole can and drank the whole beer. Danny starred at John in amazement,

"How could you drink that much John, you're too young!" Danny said

"Ah, my father used to offer me a can when it's my birthday when i was like, 14 years old, and I liked it." John replied.

"Oh, wow." Danny's dad never offered him any beer, the first time Danny drank beer was at his high school graduation party. After everyone finished drinking their beer, they went back to their tents. Danny and John went back to their own, different tents. Danny set up his bed inside his tent, drank some water then went to sleep quickly. Somehow, Danny got a good and comfortable sleep, maybe because of the beer he drank. Danny slept with his Jacket and socks, because it was very cold.
