Up at 6:20 to a bright sun that's drying things out nicely. Tom is having breakfast and will be heading out to the Harley shop. This mornings pic is a first for Tom. He told us yesterday that he's never ridden on the back of a motorcycle!!!!!!! Congratulations Tom!
Tom affectionately calls his bike "Old Red" as it's a 1984 Electra Glide and of course it's red. Well "Old Red" is being tested to its limits and after today there's nearly 2000 miles to the next Harley shop. Old Red has not died on the road but it has slowed the pace at times. We're hoping that this is the end of Toms trials & tribulations and all goes well from here. Our goal today is to make it to Dawson Creek, BC. We have 6 days including today to be in Fairbanks to meet the fly babes. Stay tuned!
10 AM update - Toms back with the part and its installed! We should be on the road within a half hour! Dawson creek here we come!

Checking in and following along, between the great words and the superlative photos, is just terrific!
Practically feel like I'm there-which is what I'm telling the wife when she sees me wearing the rain poncho in the computer room.
Keep going-have fun and post often!
