While we were on the ferry ride from Bellingham to Haines, we ran into an old friend, Megan, from Colorado. She plays an important role today as I will explain later.
We got off the ferry in Hanies, Alaska about 11:oo a.m. and headed north towards Canada. We stopped at 33 mile house for lunch and decided to head uphill till our legs gave out. Megan was driving her RV north and saw our trikes at the 33 mile house so she stopped to say one last goodbye. A couple miles later we saw Megan driving back toward us. She had been stopped at the border and had too much wine in her possession. She asked us to each carry a couple bottles across the border for her. We strapped them on and headed north again. Megan met up with us out of sight of the border guards and we turned over the shipment to her.
By this time the trip was really uphill and we gave up for the evening just 9 miles past the border. We found a small level place just off the road and made it home for the night. Total trip today was 49 miles in beautiful weather.
