Our free day in Fairbanks ended up being a drizzly rest day. Not too much enthusiasm to go dancing in the rain. However, upon arrival to Fairbanks my trailer wheel was making cklick sounds so I spent the morning dismantling the wheel, searching for bearings, and reassembly. All is good now.
The ride to Tok was a pleasant day. We furst stopped at North Pole to visit Santa, and then we stopped for lunch at Delta Junction, which is the official end point of the Alaska Highway. After lunch we spotted nine moose on the side of the road, one individual and four sets of cow and calf.
Next day was the ride over the top of the world highway to Dawson City. I was worried as there was a rider dumped his bike in the mud a week earlier and we didn't know what road conditions to expect.
The ride from Tok to Chicken was good enough as it was paved. We stopped at Chicken for lunch. Chicken got its name because the people wanted to name the town after the local game birds but they couldn't agree on the spelling of ptarmigan.
Then about 200km of dry dusty gravel with sections of washboard and a finale of a ferry crossing where I nearly dropped my bike, we all arrived safely in Dawson City.
Dave, Dave and I then went to wash our bikes and somehow got kicked out of a car wash for spraying water on our bikes. We relocated to another wash and finished the job. Then we showered and went for supper.
Later in the evening we went over to enjoy Diamond Tooth Gerties gambling hall and burlesque show. What fun. Turned in after a very late night.
