DAY 24-25 WHITEHORSE TO DEASE LAKE

Bike was ready before closing Tuesday and we could have pressed on to Watson Lake but for no real gain. Also, we wanted to try a highly rated Yukon Mexican (?) food restaurant along with the appropriate adult beverage, both were excellent.

Day 25 found us on the road before 7 AM with temps  in the 50's and good roads ahead of us. After a few days exploring on foot it felt great to all of us to be back on the bike with a full day of riding ahead of us. Blue skies and smooth roads leading the way and all bikes humming along.

 A few hundred miles down the road turned off the Al-Can and headed south on Route 37. This route is known as the western route and the Cassiar Highway, runs through the Cassiar mountains. Two lane, lightly traveled.

This route had a few areas of construction and one wait of less than five minutes for a pilot car. We also were treated to some of our favorite signs:

Still a great ride with gorgeous scenery, posted 60  or 70 KPH easily ridden 60 or 70 MPH with a few exceptions. One exception was a poorly aligned narrow steel grate bridge already occupied by a semi failing to obey the 20 KPH sign. Shortly before stopping for the night a large wolf was walking down the road and moved into a ditch watching us go by with large yellow spooky eyes.

A great day to be alive and riding, ended in Dease Lake at a large, for the area, hotel of 40 rooms which is currently sold out for the night.
