Kluane Lake to Tok, AK

In the past 17 days we have seen 11 bears, 2 moose, a mad mama grouse, baby owl, numerous bald eagles, and many other bikers headed to South America. We have had amazing weather, with today getting our first biking rain storm. We had to warmup in the porto potty together because the rain was coming down horizontally. The last 100 miles of Canada were pretty rough roads with course asphalt, no shoulders, and a-hole semi drivers. Alaska welcomed us with a nice paved road and a quaint little lodge at Border City. Between the border and Tok were clouds, bogs, permafrost, Tetlin Wildlife Reserve, many many lakes, and the backside of the Wrangell St-Elias mountains. We can see mountains for miles in both directions. We have meet the most amazing people along the way. Many bikers headed South and many retired RV'ers who think we are "strong and courageous" for doing the Alcan on bicycles. Unfortunately we do not have access to the pictures on our camera, so we will have to upload them later. We are in Tok for tonight to do laundry, get caught up on calories, and hang out for the solstice!
