Suzan leaves early for work and Dave wanted to leave by 7:00 a.m. for his cabin. So I left sometime before 7:00 a.m. and stopped in Palmer, Alaska for breakfast and gas. I also put on my rainsuit because of the cold. I saw frost in Palmer and fog in the mountains. I was hoping I wouldn’t have a repeat of the fogging problem I had when I drove down from Fairbanks to Anchorage. I drove the Glenn Highway (Highway 1) to Tok and picked up the Alaskan Highway heading south to the Canadian Border. I started running into sprinkles about half way to the Canadian border. I stopped and put on my boots and rain gloves when I saw the rain was going to last a while. I was growling under my breath again about the cold and the rain. I always seem to encounter it in the mountains. I took several pictures at the Alaskan/Canadian Border and a car drove up with two retired couples from Indiana. They offered to take my picture by the Alaska border sign. They must have read my mind and then I took their pictures. Everyone left happy with their pictures. I then continued to Beaver Creek and rented a hotel room for the night. I took a shower and then started working on this blog. It’s now past 1:00 a.m. and I want to ride 620 miles/1000 kilometers tomorrow. I wonder how that’s going to work out. It’s time for bed and it will be a short night.
