I started out towards Fairbanks Alaska, from Tok and the ride along the two lane road was a mix of heavy pine trees and section of open grass tundra. No wild animals were seen, which was kind of weird.
I stopped at Delta Junction which is the end of the Alaskan Highway at total of 1422 miles from the starting point in Dawson Creek. Just for the record, it was just over 1550 miles to Fairbanks Alaska.
I arrived at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks where motorcyclist traveling during the summer gets dorm rooms for $36.00, yeah baby! One of the guys I met in Dawson Creek gave me the head up on that little known secret. Apparently one of the administrators is an adventure rider and he suggested the idea to the college and they agreed. Their campus in Anchorage allows the same.
Being in the dorm room brought back many memories of college days at Northeast Missouri State University. I reminisced backed to those college days as I stored my gear away and washed some laundry.
