Day 14 - Denali to Tok



Moose!



Fire.... maybe



Jolie was too excited to keep the camera still, but wanted to share!




Notice the stash!

Day 14 -

Kinda less stressful and more low key day. We woke up an hour late (as usual) and starting milling about pack cleaning up camp and showering. The 3 tokens would give you 7 minutes of hot water. Cool by me because I am usually pretty fast. The water temp would rise and then cool off, so I battle that for a bit and was done way before my seven.

Back to camp to say my good-byes to Joe. Sad to see him go, but it was great to see him. 10 years and we picked up right where we left.

Got in the car and headed to the Gatlinburg of Alaska. Went to about 20 gift shops and I got some funny moose underwear and Jolie got a funny moose helmet thing.... not really but got some stickers and the usual stuff for kids.

On the road to Fairbanks...... It is about a 119, but after Jolie stopped to get jerk (on the side of the road) coffee at the quicky mart, make-up at the make-up store and get a new outfit at the dress store, we were way late.... I mean way late.

The road north was filled with construction and it took us about 3 hours. When we got there got and oil change and drove around looking for a camping store. It's Alaska, it looks like there would be a camping store on every corner. We found it got the back and back on the road.

Another few hours and we are in our home for the night in Tok.... a wide place in the road we had lunch the other day. Residing at the Golden Bear motel or Bear foot or something like that. The lady who check us in was real nice and cool and told us about free internet at Fast Eddy's.... a local eatery..... Ate chicken Par and Jo got spaghetti.

Wierd to be in the car today but feeling good about the bike. The clutch was going fast or gone, the tire would cost a good amount and the light would be spendy...... I feel good, but more important I am with Jolie and that is the best part.

Jo is eating and says hi, but the restaurant is closing and we have to go.

Peace
Sam
