We all survived rooming together. I was the first to fall a sleep, and of course I was the first to wake up. We were packed up and on the road by around 5:30 am. We had to find a place to eat down the road since our motel's restaurant didn't open until 8:00 am. Turn out we had to drive about 130 miles to breakfast, Watson Lake was the first place that had an open restaurant.
On our ride to Watson Lake we saw numerous bears and buffalo. They were around every curve. We stopped several times for pictures and then continued on. The weather was cloudy and fairly cold. We did have some great scenery that included running rivers, and snow capped mountains.
We stopped for breakfast at the Belvedere Motel. John and I ordered the Grizzly Breakfast which was 3 eggs, 3 hams, 3 sausage, 3 bacons, with potatoes and toast. We both just about finished out meal. Just about that is. John said he had to order the same breakfast as me because he couldn't let me out do him.
Brian decided to switch tires on his bike in preparation for his ride up to Deadhorse. While he changed his tires I sat in the room drinking. I think I had the better part of that deal. After Brian was done we decided to go and eat, but first we wanted to go into the bar and partake in some alcoholic beverages. We met the rudest waitress that I have seen in years. She seemed to want to assist customers that needed to get back to the airport before us. Mind you we were there first, and between us we just plopped down $300.00 for some motel rooms that employees her.
In the end Brian and her got into a pissing contest, and in my opinion Brian won since he took his money elsewhere. We left the bar and went to the restaurant where we had a decent meal, but felt a little sorry for the overworked waitress. Even being overworked and understaffed she was 100 percent better than the bar waitress.
Tomorrow we head to Tok, Alaska. Lets see what happens.
