Great day to be on the motorcycle! We left Anchorage this
morning and met our friends who also own a sidecar, Bob and Sharon Peek. We had
lunch at Vagabond Blues before heading to the Matanuska Glacier. Rasta is doing very well in the
sidecar, all she asks is to stretch her legs about every hour.

We got rained on, so we quickly put the convertible top on
the side car. While we were getting wet, Rasta was dry and cuddling with her
wookie.

We rolled into Glennallen, the city of God (as my good
friend Jaz refers to this small conservative community), and topped off the gas
tanks before we moved on to Chistochina.

We checked into our cabin at the Red Eagle. While checking
in we ran into a group of motorcyclists from Ohio. I asked where they were
coming from and they said they had just come from Top of the World Highway near
Dawson. This is where we are going tomorrow, so I asked what the condition of
the road was like. He said it was really rough and horrible – dirt road, bumpy,
filled with large potholes. I said, yes, but was it muddy? He said no, it was
dry. I said, oh then, it was a good road.
The owner of the cabins chuckled and said to the man from
Ohio, Alaskans have a different definition of a good road then most people from
the lower 48. I am thinking of the mud bath, Jaz and I had years ago.
Motorhomes were sliding off the road. Crazy mud!
Of course, I will let you know tomorrow if the road was
horrible. Is mud better than potholes in a sidecar? We will soon find out.
