After a night in Anchorage at the HD dealer, it was time to head out toward Colorado.
I left at 7:40 AM and my first stop was an auto parts store to replace the now dead Stebel Nautilus air horn. I guess that the fine dust (construction zones) in the air killed it off
That replacement job took 15 minutes and I was on my way again.
The Wrangell-St Elias mountain range is beautiful and the ride to Tok was very nice.
As I stopped in Tok for gas I met Brian and Shawn, the guys who had the tire issues in Prudhoe...
We chatted a bit and they told me that they will bring spare tires for their bikes if they ever did this ride again. Getting burned like they were, isn't cool and a hard lesson to learn.
The border crossing was again very simple as the customs officer asked if I had weapons on me, checked my passport and after my "no" answer let me pass.
I did about 538 miles that day and camped in Burwash Landing at Kluane Lake for free.
Alcan construction.
