Completed another 451 miles of the Alaska Highway and made it to the Yukon!
I am at Whitehorse, YT tonight. Stopped at Coal River this morning and had coffee and a delicious homemade cinnamon bun!
Caught up with a guy from Montreal at a construction zone. His name was Gil and he was on a BMW heading up the Dempster Highway to Inuvik and then up the Dalton to Prudhoe! He had a Zumo GPS and a SPOT GPS messenger like mine. We met up again at a gas stop and then at the Sign Post Forest in Watson Lake. The sign post forest was very interesting.
At least thousands of signs there, This was started by a US soldier back in 1943 when the Alaska Highway was being built. Had to stop for buffalo in the road for about 15 minutes. The Yukon is beautiful. Very vast and great views of the mountains. Met up with a guy from Utah with his motorcycle dog at a gas station. He was heading to Fairbanks. The dog was something with the goggles and helmet!!
Went by Yukon Harley Davidson ad got an oil change (I have ridden over 4,700 miles since I left on June 7). They took me right in at 5:30 and had it done in 20 minutes. They were closing at 6pm! I had to buy a Yukon Harley T shirt! Met a guy riding to Anchorage here at the motel from Buckhannon, WV. That is near my hometown! Did my landry this evening too. Sunset is 11:30pm and sunrise is at 4:30am!! Will be in Alaska tomorrow!!!
