Goal : leave Whitehorse YT; get beyond Watson Lake for Buffalo Burgers and real ice cream ($40.00 and not very tasty and certainly not worth the long day of driving - 11 hours.) We have met our goals for today by minutes – restaurant closes at 6-6:30pm! Rained all day. Roads were very good today. We have permanently hauled the bike up the back ladder and tied it with 'miles' of nylon rope so is not usable until we get a bike rack - too bad I ate that ice cream.
Other observations – still few others going our way and passing us easily. At this point, the only thing we’d be able to speed up and pass would be someone on a riding mower. Again lots more coming towards us today, probably 100 or so motorcycles, cloudy rainy day, saw 1 other Alpenlite again coming to Alaska, 2 Bison, Sitka Rose and strawberry patches on side of road. We left Anchorage with 10.5 miles per gallon average today we are at 10.3. We paid 5.80 per gallon again today.
