Sitting at the Restaurant in Coldfoot.... Just talked to a guy from
Germany who is riding to Deadhorse on his BICYCLE... All of a sudden
it doesn't seem so macho anymore to do the trip on a motorcycle...
Yesterday was an awesome day.... Shouldn't have listened to the
whining two men at Rogers house... Because listening to their story of
the Haul Road almost made me not want to go... But it's been really
great and not hard at all.. Just found out that the german guy on the
bicycle actaully started one and a half years ago in Terra Del
Fuego... Amazing... Well... Todd's finishing his all you can eat
buffet and we have to get going... The ride back to Fairbanks is going
to take 9 hours... Can't wait for the last 5o miles with all the
construction... Hahah... Maybe this time I'll get a photo of those
monstrous construction vehicles... And sleeping 6o miles past the
arctic circle was AWESOME ... Got up this morning and was outside the
cabin with wolves howling ... Whoohoo... Ok... Gotta go ... Miles to
cover... Hopefully it won't rain today... Got soaked on the way here
yesterday... But I'm in love with my electric clothes...
Ok everybody... Hope you're envious .. :)

hi guys, amazing to watch you from here, though difficult to post something, fell out thrice so far. Just wanted to tell you you do look electric, Ruth. And Todd, you can have a job as reporter with me any time. I also reached the arctic circle once, a while ago, but only overflew it in a plane and never slept beyond it, so you won! At that time we made our way from Yellowknife (Northern Territories of Canada) up to Tuktayaktuk, was not bad either, if you like gravel roads, that is. After thinking for years that Ruth looked like right out of "naturally blonde" riding her bike, I now bow to her - wow, you are my favourite easy rider! So enjoy your onward trip, travel very safe and be hugged from me, sitting in a turmoil of moving stuff in Vienna,

Yes, we are envious!! ;) Sounds like a great ride, I WISH my wife was longer legged, with only a 25 inch inseam, it's impossible for her to ride a big DP bike. If she could we'd be getting KLR 650's for sure!!
Take care, Ride Safe but have FUN!
