Shortened Yukon trip.
Okay, we are back after cutting short the ride to the Yukon. First let me say it was an ambitious ride for 2 old folks. With all the planning and preparations there is no way to control forest fires, road construction delays, weather and my old back that decided I needed to slow down to a halt.
We did manage to ride as far as Bucking Horse/Mile 175 of the Alaska Highway. The entire planned ride would have been 5000 kms but ended at 2880 kms (1780 miles) by the time we got back home. Not a super long trip but fairly exciting at times and filled with idjits on occasion because they have to first to the scene of the disaster or be first to the gas pumps. Did get some nice pics but not many of them. Met and talked to some really fascinating folks on the way too. Folks love to talk to travellers and they add so much charm to any given area with their personal stories and experiences. That seems to be a common truth anywhere we have been. Now off to find my pics and make some decisions and comments. Be right back. Login or Register to Remove Ads |
