So it is morning I leave my heavy gar in the room and take off north for the "Arctic Circle" and beyond! The wind is even blowing harder snow flurries turn to snow and the temperature is a balmy 18 F. At this point the decision is made to turn around fill up and head south , back to the friendly confines of Dawson City and a campground recommended to me by a local biker. The ride proves much easier on the bike me and my gas and after a field refueling we arrive at our camp. Set up tent, wash bike, inspect for damage, do laundry and head into town for a dinner at Klondyke Annies. The food was mediocre but hot and I enjoyed my stroll through the town especially when I saw Maximilian's Empire Store!
Again an early night and then the trip south really begins in earnest! By now I have encounterd many bears , both Black and Grizzlies, Moose, Deer, Martins and more Eagles!
Martins by the way are like a huge Ferret with a very pretty brown coat. It is the reason they are so rare now as they were trapped and hunted almost to extinction, but due to some good efforts by the Canadian Government they have made a very nice come back!
