Yep, this 'cycle is carrying an aluminum sluice box, a green gravel screen, and a bucket with this gold panner's misc hardware. He's parked in front of a local hardware store that has an entire department dedicated to everything gold panning.
With a motorcycle I imagine this panner is off to a favorite remote creek to find some color.
A surprising number of people do this as a Summer hobby here in what is often called 'Gold Country'. Even got a couple of pans in my garage

Yup - some kind of cross.
His human was an Aussie out for a run.
I mean a RUN, not a jog. He was flying down a trail I ride all the time.
He told me he'd never seen the dog actually lie down in the water and mud like that - he was getting the garden hose when he got home!

93 early morning km. Made it home before noon with the thermometer at more reasonable 31 / 88 degrees. 7 idle tugboats on the Fraser.

The air quality is horrendous! Next ride I will bring my N99 mask. Here you can barely find the ill- named Mount Seymour .

You can stitch together quite a long, mostly shady ride around here if you do plan it out in advance and if you have the trail bike for it.

Came across this big fellow on yesterday's ride out from Castle Mountain > Banff along Hwy 1A.

Oh CRAP! That's a biggun. Ya think maybe he was just having a tough time deciding what to have for lunch?
Or maybe which?

A Grizzly methinks ? No wonder you are riding on the wrong side of the road (-: Are you staying overnight in Banff?

Yep, a very large male no doubt. There was plenty of scat along the side of the road. Hwy 1A is closed to traffic for the summer and only cyclists/hikers are permitted to enter that stretch of road to Castle Mtn Junction.
We overnighted in Banff figuring an early start would result in slightly cooler temps. Glad that we did.

I spotted this skin-on-frame kayak strapped to the side of a camper van in Banff. Don’t see too many of these around as most of the ones I've come across are either cedar strippers or stitch and glue plywood versions.

It's like the Illusion of floating ships effect that was in the world news recently. But if that's smog, that's no illusion.
