Picto Diary

The Haines Highway road surface, by contrast, was smooth as a baby's bum for its entire 150 mile length.

Chilly and rainy for these two days, slaking a draught around these here parts.

A way driving/riding from Canada to Alaska NOT using the Alaska Highway!

There were the tents of Dawson,
There the scar of the slide.
Swiftly we poled o're the shallows,
swiftly lept o're the side.
Fires fringed the mouth of Bonanza;
sunset gilded the dome;
The test of the trail was over-
thank God, thank God, we were Home!

This highway [the Cassiar] is the "alternate way" to drive north to Alaska.

1. Don Imus requested "my five favorite songs."

High food standard TIMDT would have liked them both. Too bad she doesn't like sitting behind me on the bike and doing four hundred motorcycle miles every day.

Revenge is its own reward?

There have been five ice ages in the last 500K years. Mankind needs to leave the planet before the next one comes.

Water is everything.
