The road from the border to Tok was by far the worst one of the trip. Most of it was torn up due to construction, and we were coming through on a weekend, so no road crew to direct us around the worst parts or make us slow down (doh!). And they left things in a pretty miserable state. On top of it all, it was night and it was raining. All of the potholes had filled up with water and water was shooting up our pant legs and down inside our boots. And being filled with water, we couldn't tell how deep they were...until we hit one so deep that had we been going any faster, it surely would have thrown us over the handle bars. At least it served to make us slow down...

We passed through Whitehorse, the largest town in the Yukon. After checking out 3 of the 4 motorcycle shops in town and having a late breakfast, we headed on to Haines Junction. Here we ate some sandwiches and bought a few more since this would be our last town before Tok, AK (almost 300 miles).

Riding along Kluane Lake was spectacular. Disclaimer: my Kluane Lake pics didn't turn out very well since the weather was overcast. So I pirated this one above off of the internet.

It's a beautiful ride out of town this morning along Teslin Lake. It's an immensely long lake...we started out halfway along it and even then the part we rode along went on for 30 miles.

Today we make for Tok, Alaska. It will be another 500-mile day...most of which will be through pretty remote country.

Most mornings start with a helmet-cleaning...seen here: the pain inflicted from having too-short of a windscreen.
