ALASKA !!!

It's noon Friday and we have crossed the border into Alaska.
Leaving Dawson City, YT we rode a ferry across the Yukon River and rode 65 miles of broken pavement to get to the border. After the usual customs stuff, we rode another 45 miles of the worst road I have ever seen. Roughly, it took 2 hours to make it to Chicken, Alaska (Google it) in 38 degree drizzle and are having lunch.

An email I just received told me that the gps tracker was not working, and after checking, we found that the SPOT unit is gone. We will try and replace it in Fairbanks, but are not holding our breathe.

I have more pictures to load when we get back to civilization, so check back tomorrow or Sunday.

We are good and having the time of our lives.

UPDATE: Sitting having lunch, a guy walks in and asks if anyone has lost a SPOT unit. We will be back online tracking in a bit.
