WHAT HAPPENED TO FRED

I feel amiss in the fact that I failed to write about Fred and what happened to him after he took off on his own adventure.
When Big Dave and I stopped for the night at New Hazelton, Fred continued on. He wanted to make it to Hyder Alaska the next stay and have a look around. After that we met up with him at the Yukon River Camp on the Dalton Highway. He had already out ridden Dave and I to have made it Prudhoe Bay and was on his way south. I talked with Fred several days later on the phone when we were in Tok Alaska heading to Dawson, YT. Fred was in Willow AK and had ridden down along Denali National Park and was planning on heading back northeast to Tok the next day. I didn't hear from Fred after that due to phone coverage.
Monday while laying in the hammock at the house I get a phone call from Fred. He is in Hope BC. Fred after getting to Dawson had ridden up to Inuvik YT on the Dempster Highway. He told me he had stopped at Eagle Plains for the night and had planned on in Inuvik but an in coming Arctic Storm chased him out of town.
My hat is off to Fred, it sounds like he had a great adventure and a very long ride of almost 7,000 miles. I had had enough dirk and gravel roads by the time I reached Dawson, YT and I had no interest in seeing what Inuvik or Fort McPherson looked like. I hope Fred shares some of his photos with us all.
