I crossed the Yukon River ferry at midnight to avoid the morning rush as riders tried for the Alaskan border. Come morning on the Top of the World Hwy, it was a continual procession of LED lights, German made motorcycles and a myriad of colorful goretex suits.
The Dust 2 Dawson event was a fun time with other adv riders. Part of the event is a competition of slow speed and riding skill games which I took 2nd place in earning me a gift card and nifty bike cover. I crossed the Yukon River ferry at midnight to avoid the morning rush as riders tried for the Alaskan border. Come morning on the Top of the World Hwy, it was a continual procession of LED lights, German made motorcycles and a myriad of colorful goretex suits. At the Poker Creek/Little Gold border crossing at 4000 ft, a line had formed and it took roughly 45 minutes to an hour before being granted entry to The Last Frontier. I took a few days getting to Fairbanks where I'll be ordering parts for the Ruckus, working on various equipment and assisting with many odd jobs. Should be a summer well spent and I will incorporate a few posts over the next month or two before setting back out on the road.

Mike SaundersIn May 2014 I quit my job to ride a Honda Ruckus over 69'000 mi and counting. Wild camping most nights and cooking most of my own meals, I keep the costs low and the landscape changing. Archives
