Greetings from Hyder, AK

Well, I made it. Sure was a long trip from central Washington up to here. The road from Prince George up to Hyder was pretty lonely - not much traffic at all. At night it was around 37-39 degrees and right at daybreak it dropped to 35 degrees. The Gerbing electric liners really helped. I had no cell service for the last 4 hours or so outside of Hyder. As I got closer to Hyder my XM Radio stopped receiving. However, what gorgeous scenery coming in here.

To those that made comments about my SPOT tracker not working, I think the problem was on my end. They will only transpond for 24 hours and then must be turned off and then back on to start a new 24-hour period. I forgot to do that.

The bike is running good. Tire wear is also good and the car tire on the rear is wearing very nicely (still looks brand new). I don't know what I am getting for gas mileage as I haven't sat down and figured it out but it seems to be consistant with before so my guess is around 38-40 MPG. Canadian gas prices are much higher then we pay. I think the highest so far has been $1.10 CDN for a liter of gas.


I think that I will stay here until Monday and then head out early. I need to get down to Prince George and do an oil change and probably hold up there for the night. My plan is to ride across Canada until maybe as far as Montreal and then cross the border and head south.

I am going to try to post some pics.

Take care and thanks for your comments and for tracking me.
