After Anchorage.. North to Canada!

Judith McQuerry a longtime friend flew in to Anchorage on an afternoon flight and we joined up and headed out.  We took a break in Palmer and met up with Eric Christianson a former Rotary youth exchange student to Japan in years back.. now we share re builds of classic BMW Motorcycles.. He has just completed a Cafe Project.  Looks and sounds great Eric.
Our driving objective was to get to Whitehorse by Wednesday.  Sunday night we rode up a wet and cold Richardson Highway for a night stop at Glenn Allen, Alaska for dinner and a rest.

In the morning we pushed on with the objective of getting to Beaver Creek on Monday nite.. then on to Whitehorse on Tuesday.  When we arrived in Whitehorse, the accommodations were sparse and I was able to get Judith into a 8X8 trapper cabin.  The pictures are on facebook.   It worked and so we were off the next day to Skagway and to meet up with Jack Hovden.    The drive to Skagway was spectacular.
This lake was an prehistoric sea bed.  Small sea shells form the sand on the bottom of the lake. This area of Canada is about  60 miles from  Whitehorse on the highway to Skagway.
