I am now at the Junction between the Alaska Hwy and the Stewart Cassiar Hwy, after almost a week of riding. Not many kilometers, but apparently that’s all I can manage, but I can’t complain, I had such a great time and met so many nice people.

The last few days were again great. The scenery just got better and better, and I was happy to see that my knees were OK with the hillier roads once I left Tok.
