Waited out the rain in the tent or at least tried to . . . A break in the rain tricked me when I got up to pee. By the time I finished breakfast underneath a little pavilion, the storm was all but finished. I only did 37 miles today, but the roads are getting pretty rough.
I took a leisurely pace and stopped at all the rest areas at which there was anything to see. I stopped at the Discovery Yukon Lodgings because they had a collection of antiques, mostly from the Alaska Highway project. I bought a coke, so they would let me wander. Twas pretty nifty.
Unfortunately, a few miles down the road, I got my second flat of the trip. It was a very pretty place to stop, but not the most convenient as far as flat surface away from the road to work.
I had a bunch of cars pass by. Only one stopped briefly to ask if I was alright. I put a gel tube on for the first time. So, we'll see how that goes.
Arrived at the campground about 3. I immediately headed down to the water. It did get deep pretty quick, but it was a good temperature close to shore. So, I got a good 40 minutes swim in or so. There were so many fry right near the shore!! There must be some great fishing here. Anyway, I set myself up with a nice fire and some grub before hitting the hay.
