img_0387img_0380So i am now in Whitehorse, I came via the Stewart highway through BC. I am now in bear country, saw about 30 yesterday, along the road, they run away when you stop to photo them. So that was real nice, then I camped in the woods last night and I am still alive. The only thing that attacked me was the cold, with every thing on I still froze, there was ice all over every thing this morning. It is starting to warm up, and the weather looks good for the rest of the week. From here I go to Dawson City and to Alaska via the top of the world highway, highway means road here, not even tar. There are lots of other bikers out and about, all decent guys, so we always meet up at filling stations or watering holes. The forrests here are quite amazing for thousands of k’s I have been riding through forrests, all natural, they only grow at about1/3 of the rate our pine grows. the sawmills are monster mills as are the harvesting machines and other equipment, quite an industry, well there are millions of hectares of forrests. Hope to see moose and cariboo in the next day or so. more later.
