Freakin rain all day, got soaked, got cold, saw 2 bears, 1 glacier, Mac's turn signal busted plus he lost one of his summer gloves. Arrived at Northway Motor Inn at Dease Lake around 5:00pm, took time to unload & eat dinner at the local highway robber restaurant, then back to the room to dry out the "waterproof" riding outfits. Not a bad ride but sure was cold most of the time. Did you know Mac doesn't believe in tipping? What a frugal guy he is. ( Notice I didn't say cheap?) Anyway we went to Hyder Alaska first thing in the morning, took way too many pics, then onto the road north, bump, bump, bumpety bump... Stopped for lunch at Bell 2 where we discovered the busted turn signal. A guy hauling a trailer came up and asked Mac if that was a real Ural? Like someone would make a fake one? Jesus, what planet does he live on anyway? At least he gave Mac his duc tape to fix the damn thing with. Maybe it's not real duc tape, maybe it's a copy? FYI, the Cassiar Highway is mostly paved now so all the folks from Woss can take a run up here. We met most of the paving crew at the Northway and I mentioned that all of California would soon be arriving... That's it, it's pouring outside, time for a toddy. Over and out. Oops, almost forgot...life is good.
