Had a heck of a day riding beautiful area through the Northern end of the Rockies. Met the biker chick pictured, check out her blog in the links. Weather was great and except for the dust from the unpaved areas it was a great ride. Only fell once, actually just kind of leaned over so far my son had to help me get the bike up. We were waved up front of a dozen or so cars at a construction area and I stopped on an uneven area in the dirt and gravel. I lugged the bike and stalled and could not hold 1300+ pounds with one leg.
We saw lots of critters including Caribou, Bison, Big Horned Sheep and two big old black bears. I stopped about 20-30 foot from him as he ate berries and grass. Me and spot took a dip in hot springs that was great if you were following the track. Tomorrow we head off the Alaska Highway and go north to Dawson City, Yukon Territory where we are thinking of spending a couple of days before tackling the Top of the World Highway, a 100 mile single lane dirt road to Tok alaska. It starts with a barge ride across a river. Only about 325 miles today.
