Day 11 - Teslin - Yukon

Within 30 seconds of leaving our cabin and hitting the road we saw a big assed bear, actually that's all we saw, its big black ass as it disappeared into the bush.
Other wildlife viewing was limited to one wild horse and a squirrel.
Again the weather held up and we just hit a few very brief showers but nothing that troubled us and the biggest part of the day was sunny.

Yukon Motorcycle Centre in Whitehorse were accommodating and allowed me to have a drive in, drive out tire change for the worn out front, great service if a little expensive.

Wifey and I sat around for an hour or so chatting with some local bikers and a father and son team from Kansas, Don & Dustin who were heading up the Alcan. Dustin had been having a few clutch and starter nightmares with his Harley and his dad was struggling a little pulling his trailer. Again the folks in Whitehorse had them sorted and on their way. Wifey was enjoying the camaraderie of the fellow bikers.

Again the day was spent heading back down the the Alaska Highway but we took a scenic detour via the Carcross - Tagish loop, crossing over the broad Tagish River and then it was heads down to Teslin and the Yukon Motel. The view from the room features the Teslin Bridge, a metal grated deck makes for an interesting start to our ride on Tuesday.

The shortest ride on our trip proved to be relaxing with a picnic stop and a lunch from the same bakery in Haines Junction as when we were northbound.

Tuesday will take us off the main highway and onto Highway 37 - The Cassiar Highway and back into beautiful British Columbia.
