June 13th, 33rd anniversary, Klondike Inn, Whitehorse to Wal-Mart

Today's ride about two miles for gas and to wash top layer of dirt off of bikes.  Found another pair of "waterproof" gloves at a local sporting goods store that we walked to.  I threw the last pair away.  You can only wring water out of them a few times before they start coming apart.  Cold wet hand are not fun.  Meals are within walking distance, and we both wanted to stretch our legs a bit today.  Headed to Tok, AK tomorrow.  That's about another 400 miles and we are expecting to start in the morning with temp around 39 degrees and probably rain off and on all day.  How could the bikes possible be dirty with all that water to wash them off?
best to all,

  1. The jig is up. Hey everybody watching this site: I went by Ray's house yesterday. He and Curt were sitting on the porch laughing and drinking 'something'. They were discussing something about pulling more pictures from the National Geographic web site or some such.

    I drove off before they could see me and headed straight to tell you all what I saw and heard.

  2. If that is true, GB is is BIG trouble, since HIS WIFE hasn't seen him since MEMORIAL DAY! But, if he will just come home, I will forgive him completely! For you guys reading, an adventure of your own will DEFINITELY remind your women to show you how much they appreciate you ~ even when you are grumpy! Heck, you may even get a NEW BIKE out of the deal!

  3. I assume the "Rich" Chris referred to in his earlier comments is mine. Not sure his adventure quite matches the Brothers Bear. But I've lost my chief dishwasher and laundry man since he ventured up north to the hills of Trace West and Darbonne. To the Brothers Bear, you have given us some new destinations to aspire to see. Thanks for the journal.

  4. In case that wasn't my Rich, sorry for the assumption. Happy Anniversary Ray and Rubette.
