Rest and supply run day. And changing my route again!

June 20^th, 2026

Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada

I slept in today.  Alarm went off at 8:00am, but stayed in bed for a bit anyway while I listened to many others packing and riding off.

Finally got up and went over to use the restroom and stopped and talked to same guy (Tad was his name) from last night and another guy who were both taking a rest before they packed final gear and headed out.

I went back to the tent and organized a few things and then checked the weather. Looked like it could rain a bit in the afternoon, so decided to go into Whitehorse earlier to get the stuff I needed.

Got geared up and took the bare minimum with me and got on the bike and headed out.

I noted a few fuel stations on the way and thought I might stop and top off the tank on the way back to the camp so I can be ready for a ride in the morning on Sunday if I decide to do so.

It takes about 20 minutes to ride into the far side of Whitehorse, and it is a simple ride along quicker moving Alaska Highway route.  Passed lots of smaller business areas, but some open forest areas as well.

I noticed as I came in toward the airport that we were up on a ridge and the town was down below.  While a good-sized town, you could not see any of it from the highway except the stuff built around the airport.

As I pulled up near the main entry to the airport I saw the big Douglas DC-3 mounted on a pedestal and realized this was the largest wind vane in the world.  It was one of the sites I had planned to stop in the region, but had forgotten about it, so was good that I just happened past it. 

Turned off the road to get some photos and video of it, then noticed it was sitting in front of the Yukon Transport Museum and saw a few larger vehicles sitting on the grounds next door.  Might need to check it out later today.

I got back on the highway and was another 5 minutes to reach my first stop.

I needed some camp gear and my online searches had led me to a place called Canadian Tire.  So, one would think this is a tire shop (and I think they do sell them), but they also have all kinds of stuff.  Think Walmart without the clothing sections.

I went in, and found the bug repellent, a mosquito net hat, some batteries.

Checked out and went out to load the bike, and only then realized I had left my cell phone sitting on the checkout counter.

I was rushing back in with the cashier was coming out and looking around and saw me, she had my phone.  Was checking really quick to see if I was out there before taking it to the customer service desk.

Got back to the bike and loaded up the stuff, then rode next door to Walmart so I could get some water to refill my hydration pack and look for a few other things.

I found my water, and some other beverages.  Also picked up a stick of deodorant, something I had forgotten to pack as well.  Sadly, only had the large version, not the travel size, but will figure out a spot for it.

Could not find small bottles of shampoo or laundry detergent.  Still have some, but will run out in another week or so.  Will check later in Alaska.

Went back out to the bike to load up that stuff, and then noticed I had left my cell phone on the mount on the bike!  Two days in a row and I have lost my GPS case, left my phone in a store and then on the bike….need to get focused, I seem to be distracted, but not sure by what!

I then sat and looked for a place to eat, but was not really in the mood for some sit-down place, especially with the prices up here.  I ended up going to KFC as I had not eaten at one in many years (most of the places around Phoenix have closed, rarely see one anymore).

While eating I checked out that Yukon Transport Museum and decided I would spend some time visiting it instead of going back to camp right away, and turns out they are next door to a small natural history museum as well and have a combo pass that lets you see both.

I back tracked to the museum and notice the DC3 was pointing a new direction, so it does move with the wind.

Bought my ticket and then spent about an hour seeing the sites.  Lots of stuff to read about the railroad and aviation history of the region, and the early access problems faced by those coming into the region.  Also, good history of the building of the Alaska Highway and some other roads built for access to natural resources.

Several trucks, sleds, carts, small boats and a few planes were on display along with lots of random stuff used in the early days of the region.

I then went outside where they have some larger vehicles stored.  Was a small train, some other train cars, a few construction trucks, firetrucks, a container moving lift and a large Logistics Vehicle used by the government to support the DEW line stations during the 50s and early 60s. (DEWline was Defense Early Warning stations setup to detect nuclear attacks by Russia during the height of the Cold War.)

Once done, I rode next door to the Yukon Beringia Interpretive Center.

Here they have lots of fossils and activities related to the study of ancient ice age animals and cultures.

Sat through a short film about the Yukon region and its climate and life in the region during the last major ice age where the land bridge between Asia and North American was exposed, but remained ice free (unlike much of Canada and even the northern parts of the United States which were under glacier cover.

The main hall has some life size models of animals no longer existing and displays on early human activities in the area as well and connects some of the to the current native cultures that are likely direct descendants of those early travelers coming over the Beringia bridge.

I then left to go back to the camp, but it had been lightly raining, so bike as a bit wet, but thankfully it was about done, and stopped around the same time I left the parking lot.

Back on the highway for a short ride back and then once parked I unloaded the bike.  I then looked over some of the stuff and then as I was feeling really tired suddenly, I sat in my chair and sort of dozed off, only to wake up when more bikes started to arrive as it was not after 4:00pm.

I still ended up laying down on the bed and crashed for about 2 hours.

I walked over to the restaurant and ordered a pizza and ate it while I worked on uploads of some photos and video from today and started converting 360 film footage from earlier days.

I also did some route research and decided to change my plans.

I was not feeling too good about the day trip down to Skagway and back.  4 hours of riding and not much to do down there, and if the weather was overcast, even the views would be less impressive.

So, I had already decided to just hang around in camp and work on videos.

However, while planning my Monday route and looking over things, I realized I could still get the drive in without the back tracking.

The original plan was to ride out 2 hours to Skagway and back.  Then I would ride up and around to Haines Junction and try to find a place to camp or stay.  Then would ride the 3 hours out to Haines and back, and probably stay same place.  Then head toward Alaska.

Now I will leave on Monday and head to Skagway, but then will take the ferry over to Haines and then ride up toward Haines Junction to stay.

So will do in 1 days what was going to take 2 or 3 days and save several hours of riding over the same roads twice.

The ferry only takes an hour, and the cost ($80 for me and bike) was not that bad, and will save me some fuel money as well (remember, fuel is running about $7-8 a gallon up here.)

In the end I booked the ticket online (though would probably be save just rolling up and buying one, I figured I had already put in most of the info to get the price quote, might as well just buy it online, price wouldn’t change buying in person.)

I then came back to tent, then walked over to restrooms and on way back went a longer route and stopped to talk with another rider who has a Suzuki here I had spoken with a bit earlier when we both walked to the restaurant.

He was sitting with another group (turns out they all work for same government agency (nuclear power) in Ontario, and while not traveling together (the one guys is on his own trip) they had met up here for the night.

I spent a few hours talking with them, and then came back to the room to work on the blog and maybe start my next video edit.

While out to use restroom about midnight, I got to talking with two guys in the tent across the firepit from mine, both from Alaska and just on a short trip round Yukon before going back home.

They gave me a few things to look for and think about on my Alaska ride coming up soon.

Now back in the room to finish this blog and will not get much more on the video tonight, but have all day tomorrow.

Only need to run into Whitehorse again to buy some straps for use on the ferry (might not be needed, and sometimes ferry has them, but online it was recommended to have your own set, and I know there are ferries in other parts of the world you provide your own, so was a needed purchase and part of my travel kit anyway)

Its now 1:00 am, sunlight is just fading now, dusk like, so good time to head to bed.

Catch ya down the road.

Riding the Cassiar Highway – Part 2 (rain, more rain)

June 19^th, 2026

Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada

Woke up about 30 minutes early today, alarm was set for 6:30, but was up at 6.  Sat in chair and sort of dozed until I was more awake.  Then packed up till alarm went off and then took a shower and got dressed.

It is raining quite nicely outside, so going to have to load the bike in the rain!!

Pulled off the wet cover, and shook it out best I could, then stuffed it in the bag.

I then loaded the bike slowly as I could not pile it all on the ground, so just one bag at a time carried out and attached.

While I was loading, the room next door let a cat outside, who promptly went in to explore my room.  Think the lady works on the property and lives in that room, not one they rent out.

Kitty finally came over for a few pets, but then went inside, too cold and rainy, I guess.

I finished loading the bike, then put all my gear on, including all the rain stuff.

Rode over to the main building to check out and then got on the road just before 9 am.

A short way up the road I pulled over to use the toilet at the rest area and also had forgot to put the Garmin on the bike. 

I run most of my navigation with the phone using Google Maps (offline in this case) as they tend to be bit more updated and much easier to put a destination in, but like to have the Garmin on as it sits higher on the bike and is easier to read the map.  It also gives me altitude data and if I have the routing active it will even show me upcoming elevation changes.

I usually take it out of the tank bag, then out of its case, lay the GPS down and put case back in the tank bag.  However, when sitting on the bike, no where to lay it, so I laid it on the tank bag the other day and about dropped it when I opened bag to put case in.

Today I thought I will avoid that mistake, laid the case on the tank bag and installed the Garmin to the bike.  Then forgot about the case and rode off, never even zipped up the tank bag.

1.5 hours later I noticed this while at my first fuel stop, and only then realized I had lost the case and the USB cable.  Now cable is not a big deal, nothing special, I have others like it and rarely use it anyway.  Case was nice though to protect it when not in use, so will have to buy another one, probably 30-40 dollars.  Still a bit irked though.

After that rest area I made my way to the first fuel stop which I had plenty of fuel to reach, so no worries, but was raining fairly steady most of the way there.  Also was very cold.  Was running about 8 – 10 degrees C (46-50 F),

Roads were very wet and a bit slick in spots as well.  So was slow going.  At one point they had covered the road with loose gravel on a very steep hill and curve section, I am guessing to assist with traction for the larger trucks?  Either way it was not fun riding down that for about 1 km (0.6 miles).

I did not stop many times other than to use restrooms at rest areas or to buy fuel.  So not many photos taken, but did take a few at one rest area right next to a large lake.

The fuel stop was quick fill up at the pump, then parked the bike to go in and use restroom.  However, I guy came up to me that had been fueling on other side and started talking.  Was a rider himself, but was on a work-related trip going from Idaho to Alaska.  While we were talking, another rider that had pulled up as I pulled away from the pump came over as well.

He had ridden up to Alaska from Texas (but had his wife following in the pickup, so did not have to carry all the luggage on the bike).

Probably spent 20-25 minutes chatting before my bladder told me to go inside.

Once done, I decided to skip the food they also sold, would take too long and got back on the bike.

Long ride to the end of the Cassiar, about 4 hours from the motel to the end.  Most of the post fuel stop was dry, and even warmed up for a bit, but near the end it cooled off and rained really good for about 5 minutes.

I then reached the Alaska Highway and turned westward on it for about 1 km to reach the next fuel stop.  Pulled up to the pumps, only 1 pump with 2 hoses for regular fuel, another pump was diesel.  Both sides where taken, and a Uhaul was waiting on the one side, so I pulled in behind the camper on the other.

Guy finishes up and then goes inside.  Finally comes back out and moves truck and I pulled up.  I see sign to go inside to pay first.  Went inside and they tell me that the pumps are broken, so I need to leave the payment (card or cash) with them and then go pump the fuel after they turn on the pump, then I have to take a photo of the amount of fuel dispensed and take that back in do they can compute what I owe!

Did all that, paid the $22 Canadian dollars for 4 gallons of fuel and then went out and moved my bike so others could fuel up.

Decide again to skip the food, would take too long at café, and I was already running behind on a long day of riding, but also had not eaten any food yet.

Got going and was trying to keep my speed adjusted to make the fuel last till I reached my targeted fuel stop, but eventually realized I was not going to make it, so would either need to stop at an earlier stop or use the fuel in the spare bag.

While the rains have mostly stopped and temps were back up, I decided to just stop at the other station so I could try and get food as well.

Stopped and fueled, oddly this place you pumped your gas and then went inside to pay.  But after paying for the fuel I was going to inquire about some of the snacks behind the counter, but phone rang and guy started working on a motel reservation.  I decided to just leave, was only 1.5 hours from my destination now.

Interestingly I bumped into the same guy from Idaho at this station (we were on same route).  We talked again for few minutes, then he left, but guy at pump in front of me was from Ohio and heading to Alaska and also talked a bit about bikes.

The route from here I was able to ride a bit quicker, now had more than enough fuel to reach my end point for the day.

Not long into the ride and cars in front of me started to slow down, and another was on shoulder.  As I got closer, I noticed a very large dog was on the opposite shoulder of the parked car and was likely why others were slowing down.  As I passed by the dog was still trying to cross, but each car made it jump back. 

On looking closer, I wonder if this was not a young wolf, looked similar, and was a black with gray coloring.  Did not seem comfortable with the cars either, so not a pet I would think, but could still by a half dog/wolf or a actual wolf.  I got it on video, will have to check it out when I get around to editing this day’s footage.

Not too far down the road I came around a bend and there was a reddish-brown bear trying to cross the road.  Likely a grizzly, but young one, was smaller and skinny.  He jumped back to the shoulder as I came up and seemed annoyed, raising one paw and looked like he might have growled at me? (I was going about 62 mph (100 km) at the time, so hard to know.)

Later, while on a long straight I saw a dark shape come onto the road ahead and slowly move across.  As I approached it was a medium sized black bear taking its time crossing the road.  Not a huge animal, so might have also been a younger one.  He just stopped and watched me as I passed.  Got that one on video as well.

Finally pulled into my stop for the night.  After 10 hours and 450 miles on the bike.

I am “camping” tonight.  As I have rented a fixed tent (wall tent) at the Yukon Motorcycle Park.  Like an RV park, this one caters only to bikes (3 wheels or less on the sign).  The tents are wood frames with heavy tent cloth and locking doors with 2 beds and a shelf inside. 

The facility has 25 of these, along with 30 some spots for tents if you want to pitch your own.  About 3 times more to rent the fixed tent, but I wanted something I could lock up as I will stay here 3 nights to have 1 day off and do another day trip as well.

Got checked in, rode bike over to tent which has sort of carport in front where I can park the bike.  Won’t keep it out of the rain if coming down hard, but helps in a light rain.

Unloaded the bike, took and the wet cover and laid it over picnic table nearby to dry.  It had soaked the stuff bag which had then caused my shop towels in that bag to get damp.

Then I walked over to the shower/bathrooms and took a shower and changed into regular clothes.

I next walked back over to the main building which is really just a restaurant.  There I had a large dinner as I was starving.

After dinner I came back to room to put away some stuff, then walked over to use the restroom.

On my walk back, bumped into a guy sitting near the unlit firepit and we spent about 90 minutes talking about bike trips and some of the roads that I will be riding.  Got some good info on some camp sites and roads I was not aware of.

Then suddenly realized it was midnight (yet sun is still up).  So came back to room, assembled my camp chair to have a place to sit and typed up this blog.

Now I think I will go to bed.

Catch ya down the road.

Riding the Cassiar Highway – Part 1

June 18^th, 2026

Tatogga Lake, British Columbia, Canada

Woke at 5:30 this morning to piss.  I was actually awake, but that was too early to start packing and such, so went back to bed.

Woke again at 6:30 a.m.

This time I decided to stay up.

Took a shower and packed up the gear, then loaded the bike.

Once read, rode over to the office and checked out of the hotel.

I then went a mile back toward town to fuel up the bike, and also put fuel in the spare 3.5-liter fuel-bag I have. (It took me about 15 minutes this morning to figure out a method for securing this to the bike once full, empty it just folds up and fits in the pannier with my tools).

Once done with that, we hit the highway again.  Took BC16 back the way we had come the other day for bit over an hour, then turned off onto 37 north, the Stewart Cassiar Alaska Highway.

I stopped at the interchange at the fuel station there to use the restroom and buy breakfast. 

After some way overpriced packaged donuts, it was time to hit the road north.

This highway is a long stretch of road through the wilderness.  There are a few small villages in the south part in the tribal areas, but not much else.  A few stops have been built along the way, usually a lodge and fuel station, perhaps a few homes nearby.  Few small towns farther north, and several recreation areas, and even a few campsites managed by province.

It starts by crossing over the Skeena River.

I then pulled off into the small village on the other side to see some traditional totem poles.  The village has about 8 or so along the street in town.  Some are larger, but simpler, not painted, or paint has long since faded if it was there.

Spent a few minutes taking pictures, admiring the poles carvings and listening to the large black raven on the telephone pole nearby screeching at me.

Got back on the highway and started the long stretch northward.

My trip this morning was roughly 390km to reach my first fuel stop.  The bike normally says I can do 400-425km on a full tank, but typically that number starts dropping faster, and I end up only getting about 320km.

After the last week watching how the bike uses fuel while in various gears and engine revs, I have found if I keep the bike under 4500 RPM as I cruise it will do good, even better if I stay around 4000.  This means typically riding about 56MPH with a few times going slower and maybe a couple times hitting 60.

I had the spare fuel, which would give me about 60-70km of extra distance.

I had a fuel stop prior to the one I was targeting as well if I really needed it.

However, keeping speed down, not accelerating fast, and being mindful of keeping a more constant rev on the engine, I arrived at my fuel stop with about 75km of fuel range left, and still not used the spare fuel.

I filled the tank at the station and then went inside to have lunch at the café.

Food is crazy prices up here (though I do see some benefit from the conversion of currency, things are not quite as costly when I put them in US Dollars vs CA Dollars.

Chatted with a few people very briefly while getting fuel, otherwise just kept to myself on this trip.

After the fuel stop, it was about 1.5 hours to reach the motel I had booked the previous night.

The road was generally the same most of this route.  Lots of trees along the side, mountain views ahead and behind, occasional river crossings, and a few lakes along the road.

The bridges were interesting.  While many were normal highway bridges of asphalt or rougher concrete, there were a few that were the grating that you can see down through and are bit difficult to ride on as the grating can cause some wheel instability.

Also had a few bridges that looked to be surfaced with heavy wood planks.  They had signs warning about slippery surface, and it did feel a bit loose going over those, glad it was not raining, would made it worse.

In the last few miles before my motel, I stopped for the 2^nd time at a rest area to use the toilet.  The cold air makes me piss far more often!

The mosquitoes here are next level.  Not only are they the size of a house fly, but you get about 5 seconds after getting off the bike before you have 3 dozen swarming around you.

With the riding hear I was covered pretty good, so not much real estate for them, so they focused mostly on my head, and bit on the hands.  I need to remove gloves, so at risk there, and after the first stop, I just left the helmet on any other time I stopped.  That kept them away from my face at least, just buzzing around the helmet.

I did manage to get a few bites though the first time I stopped before lunch.

Once done with my stop, I then headed the last half hour to the motel.  But now the temperature was getting lower, and it was even sprinkling a bit.

I arrived at the motel and went to the main building with the restaurant where I suspected the check in would be.

Got my key and then rode back over to the row of rooms.  Parked up the bike and started to unload, but was only about half done when it started to rain steadily.

I also discovered a large type of bee stuck in a crevice of one of my bag straps, it was still alive, so not sure if it got in there while I was parked and went for a ride or was caught while riding, but usually a high-speed impact would kill them.

It was moving, though very jerky and unstable.  It did not want to let go of the bag either.  I took the bag over to the table outside the room and knocked it onto the table, then righting it since it landed upside down.

It was moving badly around the table, was not sure if both wings worked or if it would survive.

I at least got it out of the rain, but was also windy and cold.  Wind actually blew it off the table onto the chair, but since the chair was fabric, it was able to cling better to that.

I pushed the chair in under table, hoping that would keep wind and rain away and went back to unloading.

While I still had my rain jacket on, the bags still on the bike and the bike were getting wet.

While not a big issue, I still need to cover the bike to keep it from getting soaked and helps keep it out of view (out of sight, out of mind concept).  So ended up covering the bike after it was already wet.  Hopefully it will mostly dry off overnight, and will make sure I get it uncovered right away in the morning (assuming it is not raining).

I checked on my bee again, he was not moving, I touched it lightly with the room key and it lifted a leg and wiggled a bit, but not much.  I suspect it will not survive, but to keep the wind down I grabbed some larger dandelion leaves growing along the front of the board walk and covered it with those.  Maybe that will let him relax and get back to normal.

Once bike was secured, I sat inside the room and organized bags a bit so I can do things, then got online to check things as I have been without cell service most of the day due to the remote locations.  The hotel has a Starlink Wifi setup for us to use.

I then changed out of the riding gear and into my regular clothes.

Walked over to the restaurant to have dinner. The place is interesting, has lots of taxidermy animals around the place and some seating areas for people to gather.

Main dining area was just tables and that was where I sat down.

Again, with the crazy food prices, but the food was really good.  Had a bowl of thick potato soup with large strips of bacon and sprinkled with cheese, then had a large burger.

I then bought a few drinks as well when I paid and walked back over to the room so I could work on various things on the laptop.

I checked on the bee again, and it was gone!  I looked around on the floor to see if it had crawled and fell off, but could not see it, though possible it went down the crack between boards, there was one that probably was large enough.

The leaves were untouched, so nothing moved it, so I am hopeful it recovered enough and flew away to explore his new home as he is probably long way from where he started.

In the room now to work on this write up, track expenses and maybe work on videos.

I did have the laptop at dinner as well to move all the footage over, and also did some route planning for tomorrow.

I have decided to try another long haul, as there are not many hotel options on the route and the one campsite I know of could be full when I arrive, and also since I lack any kind of bug spray or netting, would be a miserable night, so will plan to get those in the next large city I come too, which will be tomorrow, sort of.

I have booked 3 nights at a motorcycle campsite.  I opted for the more costly fixed tents they have instead of pitching my own tent (3 times the cost, but again, need to get some bug protection first).

I will use that as my base for another day trip on Saturday, and then spend Sunday going into the nearby city to shop and also work on videos.

Guess that wraps up the day.

Catch ya down the road!

Day trip to the coast, in the rain!

June 17^th, 2026

Terrace, British Columbia, Canada

I woke up at 6:45 this morning long before my alarm went off at 8.

I did not really want to go back to bed, so just did some research on the phone in prep for todays short ride down to the coastal region.

I then showered and got geared up for my ride.

Today I will not be taking any of the luggage, just my backpack with a few things in it.

This meant I had to spend about 20 minutes securing all the straps attached to the bike so they would not be flapping in the wind or falling down and getting into places they should not be!

Once ready, I put on the rain jacket to keep me warm as the temperature was going to be a bit low until later in day, at least that is what the weather app said.

Rode over to the nearby fuel station to fill up the tank, should be able to get there and back on this one tank.

Rode through town and out the other side on highway 16.  The road stays along the Skeena River for most of the route other then short sections inland to go over hills and areas where they could not build next to the river.  Most of the route was under 500 feet altitude, in many places down under 100 feet, even miles before we reached shore.

The winds were blowing as usual, right in my face most of the way, blowing up the river valley.  Temperatures did not act like they wanted to go up much, but were tolerable.  A few short spits of rain, but nothing to worry about, at least to start with.

About halfway there, the clouds dropped down to the water level, could hardly see the opposite shore at times. (The river gets wide here, I would say up to and even over 1 mile in width at places.)

Had to stop at a rest area to rest and use the facilities, but lucked out and it was one of the spots right on the river.

Then the rains started, light to medium rains, typically for a few minutes, but some were longer.  In between the roads were still wet, and the mists in the air would still hit the visor and condensate into water.

Had a few 1 lane constructions zones to navigate, but did not sit long any of them.

The last 40 minutes of the ride things went worse.  Winds were higher, rain was constant, and the temperatures dropped several degrees (Celsius).

I pulled into Prince Rupert cold, wet (I did not put the pants on today, and my leather riding gloves were wet, therefore my hands were getting numb) and tired.

I pulled up at the first place I saw, which was one of the two parks I wanted to visit and took stock of things.

I pulled out my wet weather gloves to use them rest of the day, though after a few minutes the rain stopped other than a few sprinkles.

I walked around the Pacific Mariners Memorial Park, which is dedicated to those who have lived and lost their lives at sea.  There were a few sculptures and memorial walls along with some sea themed items on display.

On display was the Kazu Maru, a small Japanese fishing boat that vanished off Japan in 1985.  Roughly 18 months later it was found drifting off the islands near town, and eventually tracked down to the missing fisherman from Japan.

The city and private donors restored the boat and, in a ceremony, attended by the fisherman’s family it was put on display in this park.

This was also a good place to view the harbor area and look out over the sea.  There are islands in front of the this area, so you cannot see the ocean directly, just the bay the city is on.

Once done, I rode a few blocks over to the Rotary Park to see the old train station and a whale sculpture. (completed around 1985, but artist died around then, and it sat in storage till 1998 when it was finally put on display here).

The old train station was kind of cool, it is now a railroad museum, but was closed today, so could not visit.  According to the sign outside, the building was originally built for the railroad in 1911 and located several miles up river along the rail line.  When the station was closed down the building was saved and moved by barge down to Price Rupert.  Years later, a flood damaged its original home and it was moved again to the Rotary Park where it sits today.

I overheard a guy talking that they might be moving it again, but just to a nearby area next to the tracks and will turn it into an actual rail station again?  I was going to look that up, but just did not have the energy to research it.

After taking some photos, I decided to eat at the little pizza place next to the park, the Wheelhouse Brewery.

Food was good, views from the 2^nd floor dining area were nice as well.

I then decided to head back to Terrace.  First, I put on the rain pants, in case it rained again, my legs were finally warmed up again, so did not need more wet with the cold.

Then it was back on the bike and headed back the way I had come that morning.  Got a bit of rain right away, but after 30 minutes things dried up and stayed that way, and the temperature was a bit higher than earlier.

Thankfully most of the road works were done as well, so less stopping. 

I did stop once to remove the backpack and strap it to the rear rack.  It is a single strap pack and was just digging into my right shoulder enough that my arm was starting to hurt.

Arrived back into Terrace and rode to the hotel to drop off stuff and grab some things for my next tasks.

I grabbed all the laundry so I could go to the local laundromat and get it clean again.  On the way I stopped at the auto parts store to get some chain lube, I had forgotten to pick that up before I left.

After the laundry was done, I went over to a local Mexican restaurant for dinner, then a quick stop at Walmart for something to drink this evening.

Worked on some stuff for tomorrows ride as I continue north, did a short video for the cat rescue project I am running along with this trip, uploaded my footage for the day and typed up this blog.

Now will get things posted online (think I still need to post yesterdays blog!) and then figure out a few things for tomorrow before going to bed.

Need to figure out if I will make the Cassiar Highway a 1 or 2 day trip.  Can do the whole route in about 10-12 hours, so would be along day.  There is a provincial campground at the end, but non-reservable, first come spots, so might not be anything left when I arrive later in the evening, and no way to find out till there, which would mean a 30 minute drive back to nearby town and hope one of the hotels has a spot.

Or I can try to camp midway, there is a campground, but conflicting info about it being RV only or RV and Tent.  There is a hotel nearby, but not cheap.

Will figure it out here soon though.

Catch ya down the road!

Todays Route (out and back):

Head toward the coast, and the rain.

June 16^th, 2026

Terrace, British Columbia, Canada

Woke at 8am this morning and got ready right away after taking a nice warm shower.

Looked outside and the bike was wet, it had been raining early in the morning, but looked like it was about done.

I packed up as usual and then loaded the bike up.  The rain had stopped, and it was 23 C out, so not too bad.  I decided to go ahead and put on the upper rain jacket right away as there was a possibility of rain after looking at the radar for the route I planned to ride today.

Once loaded, I rode over to the office to check out, then down the street to get fuel.

Back on the bike, we left the fuel stop and back tracked about 2 miles down the highway to another highway I would use to head mostly west toward the Pacific coast.  I will not go all they way, stopping in a town about an hour inland.

The ride out of town was a bit congested, but not horrible, and things were nice weather wise.

Once out on the highway though the winds picked up and pretty much stayed up all day long.  Some gusts were strong enough to blow me to edge or roadway if they caught me off guard.

I had planned out my fuel stops, though this highway has plenty of places to stop, but wanted to test my methods for extracting the best fuel economy and make sure I could operate father north when fuel stations become less common.

I stopped for the usual restroom breaks at the rest areas along the road.  At one I ran into another rider who was riding the bike he had just bought back home and was thrilled with the weather as well (It had been lightly raining off an on for several miles now.)

I had just stopped a few miles down the road to put on the rain pants as the rain was coming down hard enough to make a mess and get me wet, and temperature dropped down to 11 C during this short distance.  Even with 4 layers on, I was not warm up top, and only had single layer on legs, so figured it was time anyway.

Stopped for lunch before my first fuel stop, thought I would do both at same time, but was getting hungry and wanted to grab something.  So again, found myself at A&W, seems to be all over the place up here.

Simple meal, probably should have eaten more, then I could have skipped dinner, but was enough to calm my stomach pangs.

The route was starting to get more forested, lots of trees, both conifers and leafy trees at various times.  Also, several large lakes were along the route, though mostly hidden behind walls of green trees.

I stopped again along the road to fix and issue with the Go Pro and just happened to choose a pull off with a scenic view of a river with a small narrow rapid gorge in it.  Was kind of cool.

Bit later stopped for 2^nd fuel top off and also bought some drinks for tonight as I noticed there was very little around my motel for tonight, so would not be able to just walk next door like I have been lucky to do so far.

The final hour was a hard one.  It was still sprinkling and even raining enough to get road wet, temps dropped again and wind was still blowing.  The road was also slowly going downhill.

We had not had any serious altitude today, hitting around 2700 feet at high point, but stayed up around 2000 most of the ride. But as we neared the stop for tonight things dropped fast, eventually ending up about 250 feet is all.

The motel is located along the banks of a fairly large river, the Skeena.  It has been flowing along the valley for last hour, and is quite wide, and running fast, with quite a bit of tree debris floating or stuck in it.  Can see it right out the hotel window.

Once at the motel I unloaded as usual.  Room is nice, but very small, probably smallest place yet, so not much room for the gear.

I was trying to decide if I wanted to skip dinner, but was hungry.  The only catch was all the food places were about 3-4 miles down the road.

So did not cover the bike right away, or change out of my gear.

Rode into town and stopped at Boston Pizza, been many years since I saw on in the US, not even sure if they are still down there.

Once done eating, will ride back to the motel and then settle in for the night.

I am staying here 2 nights, so will be doing a day trip tomorrow and coming back to same place.

Will give you those details tomorrow though.

Catch ya down the road.

Todays Route:

Farther into the Great White North

 

June 15^th, 2026

Prince George, British Columbia

Woke up at 8am.  Got ready to go as usual and loaded up the bike.

Did some last-minute checks online before I left and lost my internet connection.

We checked out and hit the highway, but only for a few blocks to pull over and get fuel.

Once the tank was topped off, we headed north on highway 97.

The ride was a bit cooler than most days, it was mostly clouding and overcast and temperatures were hovering around 25 C.  That was a bit too cool for me, so a few miles up the road I pulled over and put on my 2^nd layer under the riding jacket.

Once back on the road things were mostly uneventful.

Stopped at a few rest areas either to use the facility or take photos if they were in nice areas.

There were a few light sprinkles of rain coming down now and then, but nothing to worry about, and we had gained about 2000 feet of elevation, so if it was light up there, we were probably going to be good, but will check weather when I stop for lunch.

A few spots of road construction slowed us down as they had only 1 lane open, so had to wait and take turns.  The first one I came up too had us there for 15 minutes.  It was an interesting stop though as while I was waiting, two bicyclists pulled up beside me on the shoulder (I was near front of the line).

Two girls from the US (Oregon and Montana) pedaling to Alaska!  We talked for a bit, but then the highway guy told them they could proceed now and to stay off the main road except where needed to pass the workers.  They took off (and must have turned off as I did not see them later when we got to head down the same road).

Few miles later we had to stop again, but this time only about 5 minutes passed before we were able to go.

I pulled off in a town called 100 Mile House and topped off the tank again, just to be safe, the hills and light winds are still slowing me at times, and fuel economy has become a science project.

I have noticed if I keep the bike in 6^th gear around 55-58MPH (which is the speed limit on many roads anyway) I do really well on fuel, maybe not as good as riding 30-35, but still get nice range.   I can push it up to 62 MPH without too much loss, but still not as good.  If I move up over 65, the fuel disappears faster, and if I try going much over 70, it nearly halves my fuel economy.  So thankfully most of the highways are 56-62 MPH speed limits and I can stay in a good range.  The big key is keeping the RPM low, but not too low (I suspect the riding in hills at 2500-3000 RPM the other day was what caused the bike to overheat.)

If I stay above 3500, but below 4500 things are good, up to 5500 I can do well, but need to be careful and constant use over 5500 things just get worse the higher it goes.

So back to 100 Miles House.  Once I had topped off the tank, I went over a few blocks to the A&W place, been lots of years since I have eaten at one.

Food was okay.  Had some good conversation with some older guys having coffee in the same seating area, well, one of the guys talked, the other one just sat and smiled and nodded. (A 3^rd guy was at another table, think they might have known each other, but he kept to himself).

After I finished eating and was ready to go, I went out to the bike and a lady was outside the pickup parked next to me smoking, but she commented on the bike and we talked about it.  Turns out she and her husband are doing a trip up to the Arctic Ocean later this year, though not sure if by bike or car.

Shortly after they left, another motorbike pulled up next too me, a really fast looking Aprilia, though forgot the model.  We talked briefly and then he went inside.  As I was finished my load check, a car pulled up and guy got out and came around and asked me how I liked the Rigg Gear bags I have.  Seems he might have been looking at them, so told him what I thought.  He then went and sat in his car on the phone.

I pulled out and hit the highway, and was confident in a nice ride as I used the WiFi at the restaurant and radar showed most of the rain had already passed by this area and not much predicted to move in for the rest of my route.

Moved up the highway, again stopping as needed, but not anything amazing to see other than the one lake we passed and rest area was right on the shore.

About 2/3 of the way it started to sprinkle again.

Figured it was nothing to worry about, but then it started to come harder and eventually turned into rain.  I rode for a bit hoping it would quit soon, and no safe spot to pull over as we were going downhill.

But after a few minutes, I had no choice, found a wider shoulder near a bridge and pulled off to put on my upper rain gear at least.

As expected, by time I stopped, dismounted, pulled out the rain gear, took off backpack, put rain jacket on, fasten it all up, put pack back on and got ready to leave, the rain had all but stopped.  A mile down the road things were dry.

I went ahead and left the rain jacket on though, since it was still cloudy, but also temps had dropped to 21C, which to me is cold, so the rain jacket helps block the cold wind better.

Eventually came into the outside edge of Prince George, traffic was busy, few stop lights to wait at, but we made it to the motel and checked in.

While I was checking in, I decided to check on something that had occurred to me while riding a few hours earlier.  I went into my phone settings and found that international data roaming was disabled.  Turned that on and BAM….my internet works on the phone now.

I had forgotten that was turned off by default, but something from memory when I was in Europe last year and has similar issue was dredged up during my ride.

So at least I can get better map updates instead of using the offline stuff and can now check on stuff along the way, at least till I get farther north, then things may get bad again, there are parts of some of the routes that will not even have cell service at all.

My room is on the far back side of the hotel, on another street, maybe be quieter since not on the main road.

I unloaded the bike and got changed, then checked online to see where I wanted to go eat.

The motel has a restaurant attached that had good reviews, so thought I would check it.

Left the room and a few doors down the building changes into Apartments that people rent, and a lady and her kids (older) were outside with the most amazing looking Maine Coon cat!

I went over to see the kitty and talked with them for a while.  The were interested in my travels and recommended some places to see, but when I looked at map later, they were thinking about a different highway I will not be travelling, so will not be close to that stuff.

They also recommended the motels restaurant.

So that was where I went, had a good burger, some fries and since they asked, I tried the gravy with the fries.  These Canadians are on to something, was really good.

As usual I used dinner time to offload all the footage from cameras.

I then came back to the room and started dealing with the manager of the hotel I stayed at the previous two nights.  They were not happy with the review I left them (was all positive, praising the great service, but I guess a few things they did for me they normally do not do, and did not want that mentioned.)

Whatever, I figured I would just delete it, but what a damned joke.  Hotels.com (I booked room through them) does not allow you to edit or delete your own comments!! What a stupid practice.

I had to get ahold of their support (and that was a nightmare of its own) and request the deletion, which ends up being a form they send, I fill out the data and submit it, then they will do something in 48 hours!

Probably not going to review things on that site anymore, and unless I have negative things to say, probably going to skip the reviewing on any site.  Figure if things really suck, I will let the world know, but not going to call out the good stuff anymore as it seems that might not make people happy either.

I then worked on converted 360 footage and wrote up this blog, but now I am really tired, and have a 6-hour ride tomorrow, thinking it is time for bed.

Catch ya down the road!

Todays route:

Border crossing day. Welcome to Canada.

June 13^th, 2026

Cache Creek, BC, Canada

Woke at the usual time today, 7:00am.

Sat in the dark for a while, then finally made myself get up and shower and start packing things up.

After getting packed, I geared up myself and took everything out to load the bike. 

Once loaded and checked out of the motel, I rode down a block to fuel up the bike.

Back on the road the Canadian Border arrived in about 10 minutes.  Slowly rode through trying to make sure I did not miss something and then pulled up to the checkpoint.

Border officer came out and did a quick visual of the bike, then asked for my passport and had me open up my helmet, all expected things.  Then asked a bunch of questions, some which were not really relevant, but whatever.

Then after a few speeches on penalties if I did not declare things like a firearm, and a bit of a lecture on having health insurance (as the medical costs for a tourist are not covered by Government, so could be costly) I was in the country.

Did a quick stop for the welcome to BC sign and then went to plot my course on Google Maps, only to find I no longer had data services.

Before I left, I updated my cellular plan (I was still on a plan from ages ago) which gave me far more stuff while in the US, but also added Canada and Mexico to my Call/Text/Data abilities (and all for same price I was already paying).

I notices on phone that I had cell signal, and I did get some text messages a bit later, but no data.

 So, I had to mess around with my Garmin to get a route plotted.  While it is nice being a real GPS and not needing internet to work, it is a pain to plot as it always wants an actual address, or you have to scroll around and point to where you want to go, but scrolling is far less usable on it versus the phone.

But it got me going in right direction.

About 20 minutes in and I decided to stop at a bank and see if the ATM would give me local currency, and thankfully it worked (not sure what kind of fee my bank will charge me).

Ride was pretty easy at this point, highway was busy, but not crazy, views were nice and winds were low.

We arrived in a larger town and I rode into the city center to find food as I had not had breakfast, so was hungry.  Found a Burger King and decided to just eat there since I was going to be quick, and many of them have free Wi-Fi, so I could check on some things.

I ate and then using the Wi-Fi I was able to download the offline maps for the region my trip was going to use, so at least navigation will work.  I will need to think about downloading the next few provinces’ data as well before I get there.

I then verified that, yes, I should have data, so either network in this region is weak, or does not partner with the roaming data services.  Sadly, I do not see this improving as I head farther north and into more remote areas.  May need to see if I can find a local SIM card somewhere.

Need to replace my phone so I can use eSim services.  This phone does not support them.

I then got back on the road with both GPS working, and was interesting to see them recommend different routes, and also how the Garmin is a lot more annoying about trying to re-route you back to its preferred route instead of immediately seeing the new route you are taking.

Google Maps seems to pick up on it immediately if you take a different highway than it recommended (this might be because it had recommended both routes, but was giving preference to the one I did not take, but quickly saw I was using the other one?

The ride along this huge lake near the town was nice, and views were amazing, but traffic was much heavier.

Finally reached another highway, this one a 4-lane running into the mountains.  I thought it would be busy, but was about the only thing on the road.  Think maybe 10 cars when past me over the 1.5 hours I was on this route.

This route was nice quality road, and faster speeds, but lots of hills, and started to climb up in altitude.

We eventually reached a top of around 5900 feet, which meant it was much cooler up there.  I had already expected it to get colder and put on my 2^nd layer under the riding jacket, but was still chilled.

After we came down a bit, I stopped at a rest area and warmed up some, it is much colder when moving!

At the next town the GPS and Google Maps both routed me onto the wrong road.  Well, wrong for Google Maps as just a few hours earlier it had routed me on a different road and that was the one I said start too, but again, it changes its mind part way through a route.  Thankfully I noticed right away and took the next exit, which had more options for fuel than the original route would have, but still annoying.

Fueled the bike (might have made it all the way on the tank I had, but would have been close, not worth the chance) and then headed back toward the highway I wanted to be on.

This little highway was also practically empty, for the first 30 minutes I saw maybe 2 cars, but was busier on the later part of the route.

Lots of nice views in this narrow valley, and no really high altitudes this time, actually started to come down in elevation and it started to warm up again.

Part way in the views became less pretty, but still unique.  The entire forest had burned, probably just a few years earlier, and every tree going up the entire mountain side was dead, eventually on both sides of the valley.

Roughly half way through this route, I saw as spot to try doing a photo shoot with the bike.  I tried to turn around in the narrow road and almost lost it as the road was newly poured asphalt, and lots of loose stuff on it still (had been going much slower on this route than others).  I also lost my balance in the process of correcting that and about hit the concrete barrier wall.   I then stopped and thought it odd that I smelled something hot, only to see the temperature gauge near the top.

This bike has never shown any extra engine temperature, even in Arizona summers, so this freaked me out.  I could smell the heat as well.

Shut off the engine and coasted the bike down a short hill to a better parking spot (better in that the bike would not tip over, but still not far off the road and uneven surface)

I got off the bike and took off my gear as it was getting warmer in the air as well.

I then turned the bike back on and now the temperature was fine??

I turned if off, spent a few minutes taking some photos, and finding a bush to relieve my bladder in and then checked it again.  Still normal.

So not sure why it heated up so much so quickly and went away just as quickly.  I can only suspect that since I was in a high gear and running the engine at low revs in the hills, perhaps that overheated something.  I have been trying to keep engine revs low as that impacts fuel economy on this bike (If I ride at 6000 RPM versus 4000 RPM, I will use fuel twice as fast.)

As I was in the middle of nowhere and on an Indian Reserve as well, I needed to get to the end of this highway segment 12 miles down the road where there was at least a small town.

I got on the bike and kept the revs a bit higher since I had plenty of fuel for this last short ride, and temperature never blinked again the entire hour I was riding.

We made it to the small town and turned up another highway with some great views, but did not do any stopping this time.

Finally arrived in the small town of Cache Creek, where I have booked a small motel room for 2 nights.

Been riding all day for 5 days, so time to take a day off the bike, and I desperately need to edit video.

I really thought I could edit a video each night, but the laptop slows me down over using the desktop back home, and the new 360 camera is going all kinds of stupid things to my videos, and costing me lots of time trying to get the framing done so I can edit the footage into the final cut.

After checking into the motel, I unloaded the bike and sat and rested for a bit, then got back on the bike and rode up and down the main highway to see what food options there were.  Decided to eat at a little drive-in restaurant and then came back to motel.

Walked across to the market to buy some drinks for the next 2 nights and then settled in to write this blog entry.

Then I will keep working on converting 360 camera footage so that I hopefully can edit up all the videos for the last 5 days tomorrow.

Its only 7:45 pm now, so hoping I can get this done, thankfully I have been recording shorter segments on the camera instead of letting it run non-stop for 3 hours.  While that allows you to catch some interesting things, it mostly just gives you 1.5 hours of the same scenery on the same highway and I only use maybe 30 seconds of that.

Probably will not write an entry for tomorrow except to announce the video posting, but will see what happens.

Catch ya down the road.

Washington winds lead to Canada border

June 12^th, 2026

Oroville, Washington

Woke at 7am again, showered and then worked on various things.  My laundry was not dry, but close, so left them hanging (I had rigged up a clothes line in bathroom and left window open all night) and put a few out in front of the AC unit and some in the front window which was getting good sunlight.

Sorted rest of the gear and then figured out the route again, as it seems I get different routes at different times.

I liked the new route this morning, so decided to take it.

Once I had 1 pair of everything dry enough, I dressed and then packed up what I could other than damp clothes.  Started to load the bike, and eventually had to put the clothes in, though they were just lightly damp, so hoping they will be okay in the bags all day.

Finished loading the bike and checked out of the room, then rode across the road to get fuel, but the stations network was down, so was cash only, too much hassle and I still had at least half a tank, so will just get it later.

Rode out onto the road and pulled over to side to start the GPS plot and make sure rest of gear was turned on (I usually do this after the gas pump, but did not get gas).

Turned a few blocks down onto a secondary highway which quickly left town and meandered through the Oregon countryside, mostly fields and a few vineyards.

I stopped along the way to get some photos of the rolling grasslands and play with the DJI mic again which I had tested the night before and got working, only now I had the issue that the only place inside the helmet to mount it makes it impossible to reach in with gloves on and turn it on.  A bit annoyed at this, will need to research later.  I could just leave it on, but then would record hours of wind noise…and I would need to sort through all that to find my dialogues.

Finally reached the Washington border, actually riding along a road called Stateline Road, but then turned north and started moving across Washington.  Mostly was a northbound route with a few zigs and zags along the way both east and west.

Reached the town of Pasco which I had routed too to stop at the Loves Truck stop.  I know they are good places to stop, usually with restaurants, nice restrooms and anything I could want to buy.  I actually signed up with the company’s app as I get 10 cents a gallon off gas with that.  Too bad that was the last Love’s I will see till I return to the US later this summer (do not believe they are in Alaska).

While I was fueling the bike, the gentlemen in the car at the next pump commented on the bike and asked a few questions, and then we discussed my plans and route.  After a few minutes he asked if he could give me a little thing to take on the trip, a small plastic figure of Jesus, which I agreed he could.  I gave him my social media card and he left.

Once fueled, I moved bike and went inside the Arby’s to have lunch (later start today on purpose), and work on my tech issues.

After eating, I sat and messed with that mic more, but never did find a solution, however, I did figure out how to use the Cardo com system on the helmet to record voice to my phone.  It requires me to start the action using the app on the phone though, and my riding gloves just do not work well with the phone, even with the touchscreen patch on the fingertip.

I decided to cut away that patch and expose a small section of the finger to use the phone screen while riding, way too many times when something happens and the GPS closes or I bump something with the glove and it actually works, but then cannot fix it without stopping.

That trick seems to work, the hole is small enough to not expose the finger fully, but I can get just enough contact to use the screen nearly all the time to change back and forth between apps and use the voice mode.  Not great, but workaround till I can solve the other method.

Finally got back on the bike and routed to the hotel I booked last night, this destination was close enough and was not going to cross border today, so figured I could safely book ahead.

The highway ran north for a bit, very heavy traffic, but then I turned off onto smaller highway that was only 2 lanes, and much lighter traffic. 

This route winds across the open plains, mostly grazing or crop land, and the winds were intense.  Blowing me all over the road and times, and worse when a big truck would pass in the opposite direction.

Eventually the road did dip down into a river canyon and that was a nice ride.  I stopped for a few photos at a pull out, but then got in behind some slow-moving camper and cars, and as seems to be the issue in this area, no one has the skills to pass someone!

I was able to get around two cars as they were slower than camper, then in turn got around another car and finally the camper.

But after several miles, we climbed back onto the higher plains and the winds were even worse here.

This went on for quite a while, but then we started to get into more hilly terrain, and while winds did not stop, they seemed to calm down some.

I was starting to get concerned on fuel though, I had passed a fuel station, figuring I had enough to get on, but the winds really used up the range.  I finally stopped at some small, run down station in some little town and fueled up.  Prices are just getting worse as I head north.  Things were low $4 range in Arizona; now regular fuel is low $5 range.

A bit later I went to stop at another fuel station to use the restroom, only to see 2 full busses of what appeared to be farm workers getting off and going inside.  Figured that would tie up restrooms and the cashier for a while, so turned around.

I had just passed a view point overlooking the nearby dam, and it had a restroom there, so back tracked the ½ mile to reach it.  Nice views, out of the way and no one else around.

Used the restroom then spent 15 minutes taking photos and just walking around to stretch legs and give me and the bike a rest.

But had to get moving, was already 30 minutes behind my original schedule, so back on the road and heading north again.

Lots of wind, lots of fields and vineyards (and a strange cluster of satellite dishes on a hill) and we finally rolled into Oroville, WA.

I will stay the night here and the Camaray Motel.  Bit higher cost, but about the only place to stay this close to the Canada border.  It’s an old place, but looked good online and when I arrived, I was pleased with it.  Views are not too bad either.

Sadly, they only had rooms on the 2^nd level, but as luck would have it, I was able to park right next to the stairs going up, so made the bike unload task bit less strenuous.  It takes about 4 trips to get all the bags off the bike and then a last trip to secure and cover the bike.

Once done, I took a shower, though not a very long one.  Was just about done rinsing when the water went from mildly warm to ice cold in a heartbeat.  Never seen a hot water system vanish so quickly (though have done many cold showers in countries where hot water is not normally available.)

I then sorted a few things, checked some stuff on the phone, plugged my helmet com into the charger and then walked over to the pizza place across the road.

Had a pizza and drink while I moved all the footage off the phone and camera.  I was going to type this up there, but food came quickly while I was doing some research on the phone, and I just ate while doing that, so decided to return to the room to type this up.

Once done, I walked a block down the road to the convenience store to buy something to drink tonight and get more water for the hydration pack.

Once back in the room I put a few more things on chargers and filled up the pack.  It was not as low as I thought, so like my Nevada stop, I bought a 1-gallon jug of water, but only used half of it to fill the bag.  I have a 1-liter bottle I am also filling with water to bring along as a backup, though seems I am not drinking as much as I thought I was.

I will leave the rest of it around to drink if need, otherwise will pour down the drain when I leave tomorrow.

I am now done typing this day’s events and it is only 8:00pm.  I will be leaving a bit later again tomorrow as I only have a 4-hour ride to my next stop, though not sure how long the border crossing will take, though not expecting any massive delays.

I am going to try to complete a video tonight, so hopefully you will see it online later tonight as well.

I will also be taking a day off after tomorrow, so can work on videos then as well.

Catch ya down the road.
