Thursday, June 18. Woke up to another cold morning -- 30•. We had a late, lazy breakfast and rode the 7 miles into Teslin, where we crossed the longest bridge on the Alaska Hwy -- see photo. We visited a couple museums and finally found some very expensive fruit in a little store. Cal made some derailer repairs and we rode another 33 miles to Johnson's Crossing, (GPS N60-28.980 W133-13.509, elev 2337, 40 miles) where we camped with the hoards of mosquitos and a semi-tame fox who came nosing around when we arrived. This campgound is for sale for $520K if anyone is interested. Most of the small places along the highway are either closed or for sale. The big RVs with the 300 gallon gas tanks are just passing them by.
Our wildlife count now includes 1 very dead black bear that had just been hit on the road minutes before we rode up. See photo.
