Bow Tie Tour

Today we passed the coolest person in the world, her name is Rosie and though we didn’t know it at the time she is running around the world! Now I thought riding my motorcycle to Alaska made me cool but she wins hands down. She started on her 50th birthday and is currently (sept 07) almost through Canada.

Here she is (pic from her website)

She is going to write a book but in the meantime check out her website.

After riding all day the and seeing an awesome sunset. It started to rain, so we stopped for the night at the Air Force Lodge. While I was unpacking my motorcycle another bike rolled into the parking lot. I asked the newcomer where he was headed and where he was from. He replied that he was from Pennsylvania headed to Alaska. Talk about coincidence His name is Jason and he joined us for the rest of our trip through Alaska.

The Air Force lodge was definitely a cool place to stay.

Originally built at the Watson Lake Airport 1942 as a barracks for the pilots flying during Second World War, it was later moved to the town where it stood empty for many years. Then in 1999 the present owners completely and thoroughly refurbished the interior while leaving the exterior structure in its original form

If you are ever in the Watson’s lake area in the Yukon, stop in
