Across the border

This morning we will officially start the trip to Alaska! Both Keith and I still had some adjusting to finish, and make a run to restock. I would rather spend time now fixing things up while we had american stores around us, then be stuck by the side of the road. so we didn't get out until after 1:30. Jess made us a great spread for breakfast. It not only tasted good, but looked great also. Thanks Jess and Andrew for your great hospitality. It was much appreciated!!





Of course I was hard at work slaving also










Me and my twin cousin

Finally we were set. Bikes were packed, and we headed up for the border.





Before we could cross into Canada, we were told owe must stop by the US side and register the shotgun. After a short paperwork shuffle we were ready to talk to the Canadians.










The crossing took about 30 minutes and was pretty painless. Now we really have to make tracks and make up fair lost time.
We decided to just start riding up for a couple hours and see where we were by dark. We both have Sena SMH10 Bluetooth intercoms which worked perfectly. We are able to talk together for distances of up to a mile. It makes the trip a lot nicer being able communicate freely.





We had a small amount of rain, but nothing that drenched us. Just scattered showers which we mostly missed.




















We stopped at a duty free shop to exchange some money and get a detailed map of the area,

We continued riding until 8:45 when we saw a nice campground. The sun was just setting as we finished pitching the tents. We unpacked and started supper.















The sun wend down and we sipped hot chocolate and talked. Tomorrow we will have a beautiful time riding through Banff BC.
