Thursday was a day of waiting and hoping the alternator would arrive as promised. Don, Dave and I took advantage of the down time to clean the haul road mud off of our bikes. We went to the local car wash and cleaned about 10lbs of mud and dirt off of the each bike. John preferred to keep his badge of honor awhile longer. Dave went to Yukon Honda at closing time to check on his alternator and as luck would have it, it didn't arrive.
Friday morning we went back to see if the alternator arrived on the morning truck. Oh our lucky day, it was there! Dave had it installed by 11:30 and we were on our way. We saw lots of buffalo (40-50), some black bear, and 1 moose. One herd of buffalo was settling down for the night on both sides of the road. There was one who couldn't decide which side he wanted to be on so he just stood there in the middle of the road. We just politely eased on by and resisted the urge to play "slap the bull"! We arrived at our motel in Toad River at about 9pm. miles today = 477.
