ALASKA DAY 7-730k

 

Rained last night…..tough sleep with all the hwy noise,Alaska Day 7 5 30 12 005 as my campsite was next to the roadway……Just used the fly the last 2 nights without the tent…no sleeping pad as it is toast.

Tonight I am at Toad Creek somewhere in the Yukon up in the mountains. Scenery is unbelievable, the few pics don’t do it justiceAlaska Day 7 5 30 12 032 Alaska Day 7 5 30 12 030 without a wide angle lens.Alaska Day 7 5 30 12 009 SNOAlaska Day 7 5 30 12 014 Alaska Day 7 5 30 12 022 Alaska Day 7 5 30 12 023 That’s Ice in the last 2

Rained while I was at the highest point in the mountains and I found myself quite nervous, more so when it briefly turned to hail. So here I am sitting in the old lodge’s dinning room tapping out my blog. Wild life plentiful today …2 Deer, 5 Big Horns and 1 Moose.Alaska Day 7 5 30 12 028 Alaska Day 7 5 30 12 027 Alaska Day 7 5 30 12 021 SNO

It is 8 pm and I still need to pitch my sleeping quarters, will sign off and hopefully have more to tell tomorrow.

  6. Oh My ! Sleeping on the ground CANNOT be good for your back !! I sure hope you don't catch a cold and get sick !!

    Stay Warm. And be careful riding in those conditions !!
