ALASKA AT EGHTY - DAY 10

Was wondering about how a CanAm would do on the Alaska Highway, rode over 12 miles of gravel today. Seeing all that gravel piling up in the middle of the road made me wonder...

Downtown Haines at 9 AM.

Finally off the ferry and back to riding. Left Haines around 10 AM, arrived in Bear Creek, Yukon at 6:30, 330 miles today. Felt so good to be riding once more. That is until I hit those last 100 miles of the worst of the worst of the Alcan. Frost heaves, gravel patches, road work, dips and splits in pavement.

Was a slight drizzle in Haines, other than that, no rain all day. Temp even got up to 74 in the afternoon.

Tomorrow I enter Alaska and head up to Fairbanks.

    Always better to be back on dry land. I'm curious see what you think of road conditions on that stretch between Canadian and US border once you leave Canada heading towards Tok....

      The last 100 miles in Canada before reaching the Alaska border is the worse road I have ever ridden on. On par with the Dalton highway from Livengood and Coldfoot. The Dalton north of Coldfoot is now a piece of cake.
