If itu2019s National Bagel Day (as 1 example) in the U.S., should it also be in Canada, whose culture is so nearly identical?

Canadians might prefer to celebrate National Prairie Buns Day

(Day 1–9) Biking to Samuel P Tayler

Jumping into the deep end is the best way to figure stuff out, so I did not think too much about it. Just knew to have enough 1) water and 2) food. Everything else should fall into place. I would decided to bike north instead of south as I remembered how hot LA was when I visited. I live above a bike shop where I bought all the things (shout out to Paul who owns the place and was also my landlord, super relaxed guy). Before I set off someone working in the bike shop asked where I was going and I said I was not sure, and he mentioned Samuel P. Tayler park had a hiking / biking camping site so I could roll up and be sure to get a spot, so that was my destination. Getting out of SF was pretty hellish as I would never ridden a loaded up bike before and was getting used to steering with all the weight around a bunch of inpatient traffic. I get over the bridge and everything changed to serene life. Every time I am hit with the beauty of California's nature I think, how did I forget about this. That continues for a couple hours, I run into some guy and we bike together for a long while and he shows me some sweet bike paths to take towards Samuel P. He see's a fire station off to the side giving away free hot dogs and he's like would ude. free hot dogs.' and I was like yeah i am gonna keep going, and he peaces out (I would gotten pizza a bit earlier).Cut to about an hour later and holy hell, did not factor in terrain. I am loaded up with way too much gear as everyone probably does on their first bike tour, and it hurt.As i am climbing up at a snails pace my left leg starts to cramp up which has not really happened to me before. I get off my bike and do a shakey leg thing that I guess helped and started pushing my bike for a while. I was still about an hour away at this point according to google's bike stuff, but walking that was more like 4 hours or so, and pushing a fully loaded bike with a crampy leg who knows. The hill gets less steep and so I get back on my bike. I noticed a car a little bit up ahead had pulled over to the side of the road in a little turn off (there was not much of a shoulder but turn-offs every now and then). A while later, when it was flat again and I was blasting Kanye and loving my life again, it started to get dark so I stopped and put on my lights. I realized there was not really good spots for them but tried to make them secure. I got on and started going and one of them fell off and bounced a bit behind me. I lay my bike down and ran back to grab it, and as I got back to my bike a car pulled over and asked if I was alright and if I needed anything. I was like 'nah thanks i am totally chill' and they took off, but I was not off my bike for more than 60 seconds and someone had my back, so again felt pretty reassured that people are friendly.Cut to like an hour later and I roll into the campsite without really knowing where to go. I bike around for a bit and go back to the entrance and see a park ranger person. I ask her where about's the hike and bike campsite is and she gives me very specific directions.It was a little bit down the road so I leave this campsite, head down the road, and pull into this bit with a bunch of cabins. In my head i am like 'ok so I have to go down this trail for a bit and i will see these campsites' — not sure what made me think that. I get on this trail and its small and winding and i am thinking would amn they seriously make people push their bike down this to camp'.Cut to 30 mins later and I think would amn I really should have listened to her directions better because this is wrong as hell'. I come to a sign that has two different trail markings, one going left called Devils (something i forget) and another one (I also forget the name of) going right. I chose the one with Devil in the name because why not, and continue pushing my bike into this blind darkness. I had a headlamp on and kept seeing flashes of animals eyes in the distance. I manage to make it to them and exclaim 'i've been lost as hell for a while. so good to see people.'. They say there is a Horse campground thats empty less than 400 yards from there so I jump on my bike and head there.It's totally empty except for some raccoons that would not leave me the hell alone. I read you should put a lamp up to make them go away and so put a lamp out and a raccoon immediately crawls on top of it to inspect it. There's fire wood so I start a fire, put up my tent, eat some bread (too tired to cook anything) and then eventually put out the fire and lay down.Woke up and re-packed all my stuff so it would make more sense, threw away a couple clothes I realized were superfluous, and got back on my bike. Ended up stopping and making some food and giving my mum a ring to let her know I was fine after the first day
