The ride, day 7




What a day it was indeed from towering mountains to wide open spaces,lakes and rivers, from great roads to stretches of rock and mud, from freezing temps in White horse to 72F in Tok and back to 48 in Fairbanks. Add to that a morning haze followed by brilliant sunshine, a dust storm and rain and you kind of get the picture of the day.
As always I set an ambitious goal to reach Tok AK but with a new found AK/Fairbanks native Harley rider I ended up in Fairbanks 2 days ahead of schedule.Tomorrow a day of rest and bike maintenance in Fairbanks.
The landscape continues to be breathtaking and the people are truly nice and helpful.
One of the highlights of the day belong to some four legged friends. A local musher was transporting his team and let us pet and photograph those magnificent animals.
Oh I almost forgot I FINISHED THE ALCAN! Now on to bigger and better things. Just kidding of course!
