Well, I made it up 456 miles of the Alaska Highway today. What a ride!! Saw 4 black bears, 4 wolves, several deer and a bunch of sheep.
Did 187 miles between gas stations too. Glad I had my spare tanks. Didn't use them yet, but made me a lot more comfortable! Experienced the gravel patches and frost upheavals on the road. Had about a 45 minute wait on road construction coming thru the Rockies. The nice flaglady let me move to the front of the line. The dust was really bad! I had an "ice road trucker" behind me and he stayed up with me for the most part (I left him on a long up hill later!!)
I am at The Northern Rockies Lodge tonight on Muncho Lake.
It is a beautiful place.Sunset is around 10:30 pm tonight and sunrise is around 4am in the morning. That is really cool. Hope to get at least 500 miles on up the Highway tomorrow. Will be in the Yukon!
