Back to the USA!!!


I got an early start from Haines Jct today as I was in a hurry to get back into the US, however the roads leading out of town were blocked due to the bicycle race, I was able to find a back road, and drive few a couple of ditches and eluded the race officials, what were they going to do chase be down on their Bikes!
The ride back to the US was a pleasant one, I hit the boarder around 11:00 am. The border crossing was easy, I just showed my drivers license and answered a few questions and was on my way. The first place I got to, I gassed up, it was only $4.75 per gallon and the cheese burger was only $9.00. It was amazing the difference between the two countries, just a few miles back in Canada, I would have stopped at a roadside fill up spot, and there would have been a small store with a few overpriced items, then here in the US and the store I stopped at was well stocked and the prices, while high, were much less than those in Canada.
I stopped in Delta Junction which is the official end of the Alaska Canadian Highway, It was amazing to see that I had traveled over 1400 miles in such a short period of time. The highway was amazing and I found it to be in good condition overall, the scenery was fantastic. I got my first cell service in nearly a week and made a few phone calls.
Next it was off to Tok Alaska, there were a number of Motorcyclists in town, due to a Sport Bike rally in Dawson city, I talked with some guys from Anchorage, they all worked at Prudhoe bay, when I told the of my plans they said I was crazy, but might be able to make it. I bought a 12 pack of beer and a pack of smokes and actually got change back from a $20.00 bill. Tomorrow it is off to Fairbanks!
