Our last bastion of civilization, today we ride the gravelly and dirty Dalton Highway, aka Haul Road.  Enjoying a cup of coffee in the lodge before suiting up for today’s ride.  Dark clouds in the horizon show what we already knew, rain on the ride out, and clearing as we go north…that is the hope anyway…hope always makes anything better!

I thought the dogs were a highlight….hit rain at 100 miles from Denali but there were blue skies ahead!  Saw my first moose, (that was on my bucket list!!!) now I’m just hoping for a bear next!!
