Designed to record the travels of myself (Dave Demers), Dave McCune and Fred Suckow as we ride our motorcycles from Vancouver, Washington to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska and back. I estimate the trip will take 17 days of riding and we have allowed 21 days for the trip. We will be riding a BMW R 1200GSA, R 1200GS and a KLR. I meant to add that Big Dave estimates the trip to be about 6,000 miles round trip.

Day 10 Top of World Highway
We left out of Tok Monday Morning and drove the 10 miles to the Taylor Highway turnover. The road is paved for the first 60 miles and turns to dirt and gravel about 6 miles out side of Chicken Alaska. Chicken Alaska is a Gold Mining Camp on the Chicken River. The next 110 miles was mixture of gravel and dirt with short sections of pavement. The road was very rough with lots of pits and breaks. We stayed up on top of the mountains for nearly 70 miles and came up to the Border crossing that was in the middle of now where. We arrived in Dawson around 5:00 pm
