While waiting on our laundry to finish in Tok, we took some time to check over the bikes. Much to my surprise my new rear tire, that I just put on for the trip, was nearly worn out, its a good thing I brought another tire with me. Don's is also nearly shot so we are planning on swapping them out in Whitehorse, Yukon. Today we went though Chicken, Ak which is an old, small gold mining town and continued to Whitehorse by way of the Top of the World highway. This highway was nearly all gravel and quite rough for about 75 miles. We were all happy to put it behind us. Sometime after Dawson City, Dave's alternator died so we began swapping batteries to keep everyone moving toward Whitehorse. We stopped for the night about 200 miles from Whitehorse in Pelly Crossing, Yukon. Its a typical small town, the only motel and gas station had closed 15 minutes before we arrived but luckily we were able to get the owner to reopen so we could gas up and get a room for the night. Tomorrow we will continue the battery swaps on the way to Whitehorse were the only Honda dealer in the Yukon territory resides. today miles = 347 long miles.
