Dean Here! Back to real time. Yesterday, the boyz rode from Anchorage to Tok, arriving a little after 8PM. They had no internet service in Tok. They sent me photos via iPhone but I’m having problems upload to the blog. I keep getting some sort of HTTP error.
The bad news is they may be coming down with colds. Probably the results of riding in a small, jam packed tour bus for 6+ hours in Denali. Seems the entire bus load of tourists were hackin’, coughin’, sneeeezin’, and droolin’. JimmyV was not feeling 100% the last couple days and yesterday reports a sore throat and head cold symptoms. This morning he’s hackin’ up green stuff. So they’re not moving very fast.
Their goal today is Whitehorse, 387 miles, where they have reservations at the Best Western (which has internet). Whitehorse is also the nearest pharmacy/drug store.
Thanks for the news, Dean. You're spoiling my sleuthing fun…with no posts or pics, I always try & figure out where they're staying – you gave it away! As I posted before, I need to get a life!
Sorry to hear you guys are under the weather. Something about BEING out in the weather, along with those snotty tourists. Or maybe you dipped into the cold Arctic waters and didn't tell us? Rest up & get well. Now that you're homeward bound, gotta keep healthy to enjoy the ride back – and be ready to party with your people once you arrive!
P.S. Must be Day 14 – they left 2 weeks ago – no, wait, it's the old arithmetic trick, it's day 15, yesterday was day 14. Or, it's Day 1-Southward. Timeless when you're on vacation…!
I'll take your word for it … Day 15 is now the header. 🙂
So sorry to hear that you're not feeling 100%. TAKE IT EASY! Don't want any mishaps. Thanks for the news, Dean
