Today's Ride: Dawson City, Yukon to Tok, Alaska
Distance Traveled: 298 Kilometers I've been having so much fun meeting people and seeing places that I've almost forgotten that I was supposed to eventually get to Alaska. Good thing this was about the journey instead of the destination. haaaaa I have met so many really neat and interesting people that I couldn't remember half their names were it not for making cheat notes. Must be that old age thing setting in. Finally made it to Alaska about 5 days ago despite being late on the post.
Picture # 3: Sometimes, a dirt road can seen to go on forever and a day. The miles seem longer than a mile and I find myself totally lost in the moment. Modern day problems seem to slip into oblivion with little thought as to time of day, day of week or whether the grass needs clipping. You can, and I have...........become totally lost in this land with little thought as to what is left behind. I love this land and this trip.
Pictures 4 & 5: Just a few pictures taken as I made it into Alaska. There were taken along the Top-of-the-World Highway crossing into Chicken, Alaska. Not sure what year the old Ford was but it appears to have seen it's better days. The horns are moose and caribou. The licence plates on the building date all the way back into the 1940's.

"It is not intelligence alone that brings success, but also the drive to succeed, the commitment to work hard, and the courage to believe in yourself. Know that your dreams must come from your heart's deepest desires. Only then will the barriers come down before you. To know your heart, you must know yourself. You are who you decide to be, not who other people decide for you to be. Be noble. Stand on the higher ground. Create your life and then go out and live it."

Okay, I'm going to try this comment thing again following your instructions...
Love the pictures and the commentary. Have you actually seen any bears? If you do, just mention it...it's not necessary to get a close up picture.
Stay safe!
