Bow Tie Tour

We woke early to a steady drizzle and headed out. The trip to the Canadian border was wet and cold. The only incidents were Jason losing his sleeping bag and my bike being knocked over while parked (only a few scratches) it took two of us to pick it up.

By about noonish the weather had cleared a bit and we stopped to eat some salmon burgers.  mmmmnnn tasty   Then we crossed the border back into Canada.

As soon as we crossed the border the skies turned blue and the sun came out.  Back to the fun kind of riding   We retraced our steps back to Haines Junction and this time headed due south to Haines Alaska and our ferry.  We were a little pressed for time so we went as fast as Jason’s Shadow would go for the next hour.  We saw about three cars and traveled 100 miles.  Do the math.

Anyway me made it to the ferry just as it was loading, we strapped out bikes in and met several other bikers doing the same.  Except they all had BMWs

“Taking the Ferry down from Haines Alaska to Seattle. Looking out on the straights from the solarium where we slept out on the deck. Greatest star gazing to date” – Jason

Thus begins our four day ferry ride down to the lower 48
