Scratch the Top of the World Highway from our itinerary, a flood wiped it out. As it is dirt, it may be back together after our swing through Alaska. Hard ride today, started out really cold, with a stop in the sign forest where everyone brings a sign or makes one. Quite and impressive place. We are known as the Ron's to the dozen or so bikers traveling with us. Don't know who the potters are but they beat us here.
After the sign forest,we had a pretty hard bunch of rain. We caught up with friends from Seattle and flew to a lunch at Teslin, Yukon and the first gas stop, 165 miles down the highway. After talking with a number of new friends including a German guy headed from Chile to Prudome Bay and my girl friend from Chicago, we made a speed run to the Capital of the Yukon Territory, White Horse.
Looked around and found the hotels were booked so we grabbed a camp site south of town to re-plan our trip. Not a lot of options, loop through Alaska from the south or a clockwise loop through Fairbanks. We will see as next week is forecast to rain every day!
Looks like the Girl from Chicago link is broke (Chad and Tom's trip to Alaska). They probably hocked it yesterday for a few more beers or ice, but I'm sure they are having a good time.
Pop,
ReplyDeleteJust add a colon after http in your link to "A woman I met from Chicago" and it'll work fine.

Pop,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds a little like the Appalachian Trail thru hiker trail names. But since you're bikers, you need something a little more sinister sounding than the Rons. How about........The SickRons!
