Day 10 – July 6

From pics – day 10

The highway took us from B.C. to the Yukon, back to B.C. and then to the Yukon again – guess it couldn’t make up its mind! We made it to Whitehorse for the night. It was actually a lighter day of riding – only 380 miles compared to 400 plus most days so far. We’re on day 10 of our trip – almost 1/3 of the way through. It’s hard to believe that we’ve come this far and exciting that we should finally be entering Alaska tomorrow. We made really slow time and lost our friend Brad who we met at the beginning of the highway (he took our picture at the sign for us). He’s riding from Texas by himself and our trips were heading the same way for a while so we’ve been camping together the last couple of nights but we lost him on the way to Whitehorse. You can check out his ride blog at http://bradrides.wordpress.com/.

It was another beautiful ride. We saw more wildlife (I’m going to start a little ticker to count all the wildlife we’ve seen) and visited the sign forest. People from all over the world have left signs there and the history of how it started is actually tied back to the building of the road in the 40s. It was really interesting to walk around and see all the signs and pieces of themselves that people have left behind. We’ll be back through there on the way down to the Casiar highway so James and I are on the lookout for a way we can make a sign and add it to the forest.

On to Alaska!
