Rachel's C90 Adventures from Alaska to Argentina – Life in the fun lane!
Our usual late start was followed by breakfast and tea, and the discovery of squirrel poo all over my bike; what is it with my bike and the wildlife?! Before continuing on down the Alaska highway, Ed decided that he wanted to have one last dip in the hot springs, but I unfortunately…
We got up around 9am; Denis and Dan were due over around 10am to help and instruct with the moving of stuff. We had a cup of tea and packed all our stuff up, and Dan arrived around 11am, followed by Denis just before 12pm. We loaded everything on to the truck then said our…
We got up around 9am and packed up our stuff. There was a fresh layer of snow on the bikes and out of the window was a view of the lake, completely frozen. We went back in to the lodge and had a huge breakfast; eggs, bacon, sausage, hashbrowns, toast. You name…
We sat down in the restaurant and had some food while warming our toes up and drying our socks. Cory had been in touch with Ed via email, wondering how and where we were, and said that he’d be in Teslin for work tomorrow (his main job was at NWTel, a communications company). We both…
Squirrel, Smokies, Sleeping bag, Sprocket, Scary faces, Soup, Snow, Sidecar, Slippery. We made our way over to the Bed and Breakfast, where Eva had kindly offered us a free place to stay. It was in a beautiful setting, overlooking a forest with a big viewing deck to view the northern lights; when they decided to…
Despite setting my alarm to get up early, and knowing full well that we needed to get up to get everything done, I snoozed the alarm and we woke up just after 9.30am. Bugger. I had a quick tea and breakfast then set about cleaning the cabin, while Ed packed his stuff up before coming to…
We woke to a mix of rain and sleet, but on the bright side I could feel my feet! This was quite a treat after the past few nights, where my feet resembled blocks of ice. I’d also been warm all night which was amazing, so nice not waking up in the middle of the…
We woke up fairly early for us, knowing we had a lot of miles to do. I thought it was a cold, grey, and overcast day, but once outside the tent I discovered it was quite the opposite. Due to being in a bowl of mountains the sun hadn’t got to us yet! …
We got up pretty late as usual. It was a beautiful sunny day, and the yellow leaves on the trees were a striking contrast against the bright blue sky. It was most definitely autumn, and I loved it. Leaves covered the ground and continued to fall, flipping over in the breeze as they did. …
It was so wet and grey that we couldn’t fully appreciate the scenery. It would have been a beautiful ride on a dry, sunny day, with mountains and hills on both sides. We rode past big lakes and through Chugach National Forest, and as we got nearer to Seward it cleared a little and I…
