Sunday 20th July, Chicken: eggcellent

  • Driven today: 451km; Total: 3370km
  • We’re now driving the 400 miles to Dawson City. Nothing really prepares you for the distances in Alaska. The top speed of the bike is around 55miles per hour so we really do have (too much?) time to savour those views.
  • Roads cut through worlds of green. Really is the Last Frontier.
  • We stumble across a beaunormous view at Robertson Creek:
  • On the long drives, one of my favourite things is to monitor the carnage on the windscreen directly in front of me. This isn’t just a graveyard for the lowly mosquito, there are INTESTINES 2 inches from my face. They crustify as brown bogies. It looks like Damien Hirst has experimented with centrifugal force and goat shit. Which I actually wouldn’t put past him…
  • Don’t make the border in time. Have to stop and camp in Chicken. Yes, Chicken.
