We made it!!!!!!!!!!

Well, we made it! We're at the official end of the Alaska Highway! Delta Junction, Alaska. Mike and I have now ridden in every state, province and territory that has a road to it. We'll be celebrating tonight with some Tequila and a Cuban cigar.

Here's a few photo's from today's ride I still can't find the words to describe what we're seeing.. One word that comes to mind is "vast".... This is a vast wilderness up here... We got up early this morning & hit the road around 6am local, we didn't see another car on the road for a long, long time. It's 90-100 miles between tiny gas stations, typically with 1 gas pump. There are no side roads, no towns, no houses, no telephone poles, nothing but wilderness.

This photo was taken while riding in the Kluane Park. (at about 70mph, so no grief about the composition!)




This was as the sun was peeking through the clouds over Kluane Lake

And here we are at the border..... Couldn't find anyone that could shoot a photo of the two of us in front of the sign.

Today we hit the worst section of the Alaska Highway. Lots of gravel and lots of construction. And we had 40 degrees and light rain to top it off. The black gravel wasn't too bad... the brown stuff in the photo below is dirt.. and it was slippery as snot and rough.... The bike is completely covered in crud.... It took 2 1/2 hours to go 47 miles through that section.

We got caught in a storm shortly after the above photo... the good news is, the hail was small.... We stopped on the side of the road and ran into the forest to get cover under the trees... The other good news is that we didn't get eaten by a bear in the forest....

We'll be in Fairbanks for breakfast and we'll find a place to get the oil changed & see if we can scrape off some of the stucco that's formed on the bikes.

We'll pass through North Pole Alaska tomorrow, and if I get a chance, the Grandkids will get a nice postcard from there!

Later everyone!
