Last night we met Connie and Christian from Florida at out campground. They informed us that the campgrounds and motels in Haines Junction will be full this weekend because of the Kluane Chilkat International Bike Relay. They are racing and have already reserved a campsite. They offered to let us camp with them on their site in Haines Junction. Thanks to them we will have a place to sleep tonight.
We spent several hours boiling river water so that we could refill our water bottles. We then rode mostly downhill into town in great weather (approximately 56 miles). Connie and Christian cooked a wonderful meal and we used all our mosquito protection to spend a few hours visiting outside with them. A young man from Taiwan rode up on his bike and Connie fed him too. We talked with him and advised that he buy bear spray and keep his food out of his tent. Tomorrow will be a day off to shower, do laundry and post all these blog messages.
