Distance travelled (by bike): 31,760
Instead of taking the Alaskan Highway through Whitehorse i opted for the road less travelled, The Campbell Highway. This road is about 60% unpaved and in some parts pretty much a single lane. This statistic also applied to the weather 60% torrential rain 40% sun.
having been recommended Bee Jays dinner, i stopped for breakfast, i was not disappointed, a great truckers cafe with good food. From Watson Lake i saw no other traffic until i got to Ross River, 230 miles up the road. Fantastic road, i saw loads of bears, but not much else. Having filled with fuel from the fuel cans the bike sank on its stand, when i was taking a photo it fell over, irritating. I was hoping to fill up at Ross River, unbeknown to me today is some sort of national or local holiday, the fuel station was shut, i was told by one of the locals the people running it decided to go fishing.
Back on the road to Faro, here the road became paved and i managed to fill up with fuel, other than an old mining truck there really wasn't much there, but the population is only 300 people.
The road to Carmacks was an easy ride through the rain great finish to a big day.
