Dub Step Saturday

How many people can say they watched the Warriors win the title from the Yukon on yet another Saturday?! Only three of us, I am sure.

A pretty and short day — about 300 miles up the northern end of the Cassiar and finally to the Alaska Highway. We gave up 14 miles to go to Watson Lake and Kathy’s Kitchen. Then a turnaround to ride to Teslin.

Not much here but a beautiful setting even if the motels are simply giant convenience stores.

We got all suited up from Kathy’s and then remembered the Forest of Signs needed a stop. Energy was still high.

Then we geared up for the ride up the Alaska Highway to Teslin. Putting on rain gear and needing it in the cold and wind. The pictures really don’t show the grandeur we are riding through, but hey…, we were THERE!

So we end up at the one bar and drank the poor woman out of cold Yukon beer and had to resort to Kokanee. The Dubs did not disappoint and neither did our heros. After a couple of close crib losses (I KNOW, WTF!?) I repaired back to accumulate photos and videos I can’t use here because of yet another dirt-slow Yukon network. Not that I am bitter about it or anything.

The ride was great, the people hospitable, I am sporting bay area championships on my helmet and over dinner. All in all, another great Saturday. Except of course when Charlie got thrown in jail for molesting the wildlife and local law enforcement.

I guess Albertans, or this one, have this thing about wildlife....

I hear that's not enough octane, Charlie!

All in all a terrific day. Now to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz as tomorrow is a long one!
