 We crossed the border into Alaska at Beaver Creek. It was a good day. Right after you get into Alaska, the highway turns to really nice asphalt with some excellent curves. As you got closer to Tok, Alaska, it turns back into the same old seal-coat and gravel and stays that way all the way to Fairbanks. 2000/07/28 USA - Alaska |

 We camped in the "Tok RV Village" in Tok, Alaska. It was only $7.00 per tent and the hot showers felt great. The extra tent is Mark, from Missouri. He was riding up to the airbase in North Pole, Alaska, to visit his son. We had come upon Mark on his Honda Shadow on the ride around Destruction Bay and after that we kept running into him at the gas stations. Mark ended up riding with us almost all the way to Fairbanks. Several days later, northeast of Anchorage, a Ford Bronco passed us with it's horn blaring. It was Mark and his son. Small world. 2000/07/28 Alaska Highway USA - Alaska |
 It was an easy 200 miles from Tok to Fairbanks on Highway 2. In Fairbanks we stopped at the Honda dealer and got the oil changed in the bikes. 2000/07/29 Alaska Highway USA - Alaska |
 I never get tired of pictures of motorcycles at a scenic pull-off. 2000/07/29 Alaska Highway USA - Alaska |
 In Fairbanks we camped at the Norlite Campground. It was $12.50 per tent, $6.00 for a little firewood, and there was no shade in sight. They had pay showers and chemical toilets. We did laundry and walked over to "Alaska Land" for the salmon bake. I would recommend the salmon bake, but not the Norlite Campground. On the morning of the thirtieth we rode 40 miles north on the Dalton highway, which put us north of the 65th parallel, then we turned around and went south to Denali on highway 3. 2000/07/29 USA - Alaska |
