We left North Pole heading south on Rt 2 toward Delta Jct and Tok.
Ruth saw a moose and its calf about two miles down the road.
Another couple miles down the road Ruth saw another one feeding just
off the road. We were able to get a few photos of this one.
Another few miles down the road I spotted a moose that allowed us to
park and walk up to it. We got quite a few photos of this one.
While we were standing watching this one, Ruth spotted another cow and
calf cross the road about 300 yards down the road.

We then rode the remainder of the way to Delta Jct. We stopped at the
Visitor Center and got a photo of the End of the Alaskan Road pole.
When we left Delta Jct we'd only gone about 100 miles so I thought
we'd get gas somewhere a little later. I didn't realize that there
wouldn't be gas again until Tok.
Ruth and I were riding pretty slow as we were watching for wildlife.
After I got about 75 miles down the road (175 total) I realized we
wouldn't get gas until Tok. Ruth and I kept going 45 hoping that her
KLR could go that far without fueling.
It turns out I worried for nothing. Ruth never even had to switch to
reserve and when she got gas, she used less than me.
In Tok, we stayed at the Snowshoe Motel. It was clean and a
reasonable price. We went to Fast Eddy's for dinner and had a
halibut burger and salad bar. It was a great meal....
