Go!

This is his route to Dawson Creek, his next major waypoint. From here to there will be camping, roadhouses, possibly a hotel or two, and probably a few made-up blog entries by yours truly, while the old man is between cell towers.

Dad rode about 45 miles yesterday, and stayed in a road house. That leaves around 250 more miles of Alaska before he starts through Canada. Reports from Mom have it that all equipment arrived safely and is functioning well.
