Canada hello again...or is it?

Its early doors and it trying to rain when we leave Hyder! Drizzle grey skies and 350-400 miles of roads.. Again the destination is the goal of the day! I connect the music and ride steadily all day The temperature is mid to high sixties comfortable..The traffic is easy so I just Chill me Bones!!

Easy man...

I ride through forests and wonderful vistas that are the norm for this region of mountains ..Im also on the look at for the wild life Moose and elk are the ones to avoid..

Also as a precautionary the truckers have Moose bars fitted to their trucks, A moose can weight up to 2 tons and has the potential to wipe most things when out playing out their own spin of tig!..with a truck..

I ride to the edge of Watson Lake when I see the back side of a sign I pull up to take five at the rest area and read the sign on the other side!

Welcome to British Columbia..Ive just left it!

Today Ive been mostly riding on my own 140 miles without seeing another person..Comfort factor tested, riding through burnt out forests, riding past vast lakes and massive tarmac ribbons of roads which seem to go on for ever!

Thinking about all sorts of things I realise Ive just ridden through Bristish Columbia..Blimey Ole riley.. Its a big old place..

 The bike needs a clean!!

 To my surprise when I look to the opposite side of the road I see the familiar sign Ive read about many times in all sorts of publications and ride reports the YUKON sign...sense of achievement yeah!

 About 20 mins later I arrive in watson Lake trying to find my digs for the night.. welcome signs... don't they just love em?

 To cut a long story short when I arrive to meet up with all the other lads at the Air force Motel
I find the place is run by an eccentric german who insists that before I set foot over the threshold That I remove my boots!!! eh!

He then abruptly informs me that as He has no double rooms left ,

He says I have to share a double continental bed with Bonkers Bob, plus the rest of the group must share beds with each other!!!! Gettt too .... I say...He says" But ziss is vhat vee do in european otels.." 

So its off the Motel Andreas up the drag.. Don't get me wrong I have no problem with sleeping in the same room but I draw the line with Bonkers Bob trying to spoon me...

Next morning I hear the stories from a few of the lads who decided to stay there..  that Helmut was goose stepping and Svitching see lights uff at zero 22.30 ours.. Vee ave days of making you comply!!!

Ps Bob...aka Bonkers Bob is a top bloke... Its his Birthday today.. happy birthday  mate..lovely chap..just a bit...bonkers...

Bag and Cats comes to mind!

Thats all really for today I'm off to Haines junction tomorrow 400-430 miles dependant attractions we visit..
