Day 9: A Long Short Day

Today we traveled to Whitehorse, beginning from Watson Lake, Yukon.  We planned this day to be a relatively short ride so we would have time to change oil and do laundry.  We were also hoping to catch up on the Blog, since we have had problems with wireless signal strength for the past two nights.

“Sign Post Forest”

People bring their signs from home to add to the collection.

Our first “luxury” rest stop of the day.

Had a nice view in this direction . . .

 

. . . and some “Rock Graffiti” in this direction.

 

Just checking!

 

Grate bridge.  Makes you Squirm.

This is the famous Testlin Bridge which is a terror to motorcyclists because it is so long and the front tires 'drift' on the grating.

 

“Self Portrait”

 

One second he is here . . .

. . . and the next, here!

Skirting the “Edge of the Storm”

Do I feel Lucky?

No.

A little bit of scenery for you nature buffs

Time to change the oil

We also did laundry at the coin-up machines, along with too many other people with the same idea.   I would show you pictures of our dirty clothes, but I wasn’t in the mood.

And at the end of the day . . .

When will you be finished with the dryer?
