Off we go. We are now officially heading home. Home is 5000 miles away, but who cares, southward we will go. The plan for the day was to be in the saddle by 7 and ride o Tok for breakfast. Tok is about 100 miles from Delta Junction. I though I might get an earlier start when around 1:00 am smoke from the nearby fires started smelling up the room. The wood smoke was so strong it gave me a splitting headache.
The smell eased up after about an hour, but I still had the headache, so I didn't get much sleep. We were all loaded and ready to go before 7, so a riding we will go. Brian led today since I was pretty tired, plus I think he wanted to test that new Spyder out. The weather started out cloudy and cool, but quickly turned to a light rain a few miles down the road.
We stopped at Tok and had a good breakfast. It was a late breakfast so I was sure it was going to effect lunch, but none the less, we ate at this restaurant on the way up, and it was pretty dog gone good. After breakfast we headed to Canada.
We stopped at Boarder City to gas up and take a break. Boarder City is about 5 miles from the boarder. The weather started to improve and the temperature startedto rise. You could still see a lot of haze from the fires in Alaska. We all made it through customs without any issues. A quick stop in Beaver Creek, Yulon to get some Canadian cash. Well, I got some cash, it seems that I drained the one and only ATM machine. None of the others could get any cash. We will have to find another one of these money making machines to drain.
Our plans were to stop for the night in Destruction Bay. We arrived there around 5:00 pm local time. A few quick calls home, and a couple fo drinks, and then off to dinner at the attached restaurant. John had the Fish and Chips, Brian had the Hamburger Steak, Dick had the Chicken, and I had Pizza. It was all pretty good, and for Canada not priced to bad. After dinner we went back to the rooms for a nightcap and then bed.
Tomorrow we head to Teslin. Not sure what the room situation will be, but we will work that out when we get there.
