Wednesday, July 16, 2008 - Day 6

We had a fairly slow morning today. We got up around nine, and it took us until 12 to eat breakfast and pack up camp.


We then headed into town to do a little more exploring. We checked out the musium and drove through old town. Yellowkinfe is a pretty little town.

We got on the road at about 3:30 pm. It was actually surprisingly hot for being so far north. I actually tink I got a little over heated that morning because I didn't feel very good all day. For the most part the ride was pretty uneventful. However, like most days, there is once experience worth noting.

While we were on the ferry, a bug must have crawled into my helmet. About 5 minutes after getting off the ferry, the bug started crawling on my ear. I VERY quickly pulled over and took off my helmet. That is one sensation I can do without repeating.

Other than that, it was a great day of riding. We go in fairly late so we made some dinner and are now headed to bed.

Start: 37,342 km - End: 37,868 km - Total Distance: 526 km

Sunset/Sunrise

So its only 9:30 in the morning but I have to comment on last night. We had been noticing that the farther north we got, the longer the days got, but last night was something else. We decided at about 11:30 pm that we should go down to the lake and check out the sunset. We were down there until almost 1:00 am and the sun still hadn't completely went down.


I realized later that it never really got dark. There was dusk for a couple of hours but never complete darkness.
