    Went on a road trip from NJ to La Ca, to AK. Drove the Alcan hwy, over 1000 miles were unpaved at the time. Stayed with a friend in Faifnanks for a month then drove back to NJ. That was about 30 years ago. Not sure what its like now. Lookig forward to seeing your pictures.

    Rolled in to beautiful, sunny Watson Lake, YT around 16:15 this afternoon. Traveling companion isn't too enthusiastic about doing long drives - something about that incessant "pucker factor" when we're going through the mountain passes and sharp curves. Wonder what that's all about?:D

    Excellent beer in Whitehorse - highly recommend trying any of the Yukon Brewing Co. brews; also, try the "Burnt Toast" - hipster/cafe/bar place right in the center of Whitehorse.

    Departed about 0930, after sampling some Canadian McDonald's. Been about 2 years since I sampled US McDonald's...you Canadian's have it way better. Whole grain bagel/hollandaise sandwich...excellent coffee...

    Road conditions were OK from Whitehorse south, mostly hard pack snow, with some icy sections around bridges and steep grades. Averaged about 60 - 65 mph. for the day. My pizza cutters seem to be maintaining adequate traction in the white stuff. Started to feel a few hints of "pucker factor" when I hit some ice a few days ago, but that's about it (luckily).

    Looks like my right headlight is getting much dimmer than my left headlight. Not a big deal, just annoying more than anything. Already had an issue with my Mini D2S projectors reflective coating burning off...thought that I rectified the situation by upgrading to FXRs...I'll pry 'em apart when I reach America.

    Bound for Dawson Creek in the AM.

    I'm out.

    Jake
