The first 250 miles was rain and fog - a little grueling, but hey - no wind.... I'll take it!
The second half of the day was, once again filled with spectacular vistas around every turn.
You need to come here - yes, I mean you. I know you, and you would totally love this! The temps were even perfect for riding this afternoon. We ended the day where I thought, or rather my GPS thought I should be.... and I agreed. Cancelled previous reservation and stayed at the Double G.
Wait... I'll step back so you can see more than just the cabins...
Packed our stuff in - went back down and had Lois serve us some dinner.... homemade chicken noodle soup and Larry and I shared a salmon melt on homemade whole wheat bread - - - - 'with real Canadian cheddar from a block' we were told. Mark had the homemade chili. We got 3 or 4 truckers sharing the small dining room before we left - they always know the best places to stay and eat.
We saw a bald eagle, bear, and deer today - and enjoyed some lovely roads as well as the scenery. Just a couple to share before I hit the sack.
I hope you like the pictures but they hardly convey the awe that they inspired as we drove through the afternoon.....
It is going on midnight and I hope to be in Whitehorse tomorrow so another long day.
Miles: 524
