On Sunday, Rodrigo, left Watson Lake early - wanting to get to Dawson Creek, BC. by day's end (500+miles). Rodrigo rides a BMW 1200GS. Those are the 'ultimate in Adventure Motorcycles' - the same one, Sarge & I tried to catch, on 'the Dalton' - no chance!
I knew, I would only hold him back - besides, Harley's and BMW's don't see 'eye to eye'!
I left, half an hour later - after a 'motel room coffee' - my regular routine, when there's a coffee maker in the room. I rode from Watson Lake, Yukon, to just north of Fort St. John, BC. (450 miles). It rained the entire afternoon - so hard, I had to take my glasses off, to see!
I saw a lot of animals - including wild horses, many bison, a grisly, a mountain goat, a mother moose & calf, and many deer. I got many of them on video - not so many, on my cell-camera. There was little traffic; a rather unassuming, day - with great scenery.
Yesterday, the traffic picked up considerably - a lot of trucks and RV's; mostly heading north. I'm glad, I started my adventure north, in early June - with the exception, of the bad weather. I guess, you can't have everything! Even though the mountains are amazing, it was nice to ride in the Alberta foothills and then the prairies. It rained a little in the morning - but nothing like Sunday. Today, I will spend the day/night in Edmonton, visiting a family friend.
Pictures - more great scenery, wild horses & Sarge sent me some pictures, of what I was missing in Dawson.
I miss ya my friend. Here is raining badly i kick back and wait for my new tire and my new helmet and my new goggles ordered from J&P cycles store. Our front tire is only 118$. BTW i forgot my Arctic circle certification in your bike but send it to me when you send the videos thank you. Be safe!!!
