Tok, AK to 54 miles south of Tok on Hwy 1, AK
54 miles

Weathers wonderful, roads are smooth and flat and we have less than 275
miles to Anchorage. That's a good day.

Nicolas and Sophie will ride with us until they turn off to go to
Valdez. Jungle headed away from us towards Dawson City. We'll miss him, he
was a very funny not your typical Canadian.

We loaded up with 5 days worth of food so we're a little heavy. It's
weight I certainly don't mind carrying.

Today, I found these killer headphones along side the road today.
They're like the earmuff style headphone. I didn't know my I-Pod sounded
so good. It blocks out all noise including cars. That may not be a
good thing.

We pulled over along a side of the road and decided to camp. What we
didn't realize at that moment was we had a straight shot view of Mt.
Sanford which stands at 16,230 feet. When we initially set up camp, the
top was covered up by the clouds. In a period of about 3 hours, the
clouds slowly disappeared to reveal the whole mountain. Over time, the
mountain was getting higher and higher. I couldn't believe my eyes.
Since we're standing at 2200ft, looking up at over 16,000ft is unreal.
The mountain is mostly covered in snow and it's miles and miles wide. We
been getting pretty lucky with campsites. It should be, we're pro's
at his touring thing now!

In fact, we're so good, we had sloppy joes for dinner tonight! Hey, it
beats pasta and definitely beats peanut butter.

Good night.

1 mile at a time...
