Silver City, YT to Wilderness Village, YT
62 miles

No complaints today. Tailwinds were in abundance all day out of Kluane
lake area. Cruising at nearly 22 mph felt like I was on a motorcycle.

Wilderness Village is actually shut down. Since we don't need much in
service, locals nearby have allowed us to camp for the night. Rumor is
and this is only a rumor, a lady who lives in this "town" loves
cyclist and gives out pastries. We thought about that all day as we headed
here. Unfortunately she is nowhere to be found. We're hopeful she'll
show up tomorrow morning with some goodies.

As we near the end of our trip, I like to thank all who have followed
us on our journey. I tried my best to make it as interesting as
possible but sometimes, nothing eventful happens. Nonetheless, I hope
everyone enjoyed most of it. Although not a good writer, I feel like I've
been improving. We have roughly 12 more days so please follow us to the
end.

Distance to Alaska border: 102 miles
Distance to Anchorage: 523 miles
Miles ridden: 6650 miles
Times zones covered: 4
Calories burned: 732,000 (6000/day)

Good night.
