Friday was Anchorage to Breaver Creek YT

Later we were having lunch in Whitehorse. and a guy noticed we were on motorcycles. Had told use he helped a guy on a Ninja. It happened to be the guy we talked to in Beaver Creek. How random is that.





We stayed at the same place at Breaver Creek when we came up. Met a good guy next door to us that was riding up from LA and was having a rough time. He encountered hail storm in lower BC that piled up like snow and he went down on this motorcycle. He went down again south of Beaver Creek in a corner with gravel on it. Slide of the bike into a ditch and the bike slide on top of him. He was ok and got away lucky with a burn on his leg from the exhaust pipe. We asked in he was ok on medical supplies. Dad was showing him maps and we were telling him about the weather up north and recommended he might head back home because he was banged up along with his bike.






More random shots.






These are some shots of the Matanuska Glacier Valley. It's east of Palmer, AK. Dad has friends there that have a view of the valley. Since the weather has changed over the last 20 years the tundra and permafrost melted. Trees started to grow everywhere as well..






Here are some random shots taken along the way.
