I got to Fairbanks yesterday. I met up with Fred. Today we set off for the Arctic Circle. I got about 20 miles up the Dalton Highway when timidity took over. It was raining and the road was mud. I was doing okay until the surface changed and became pudding. That, combined with a steep downhill and I said "enough!" Fred was in agreement with me when we were stopped at the side of the road and a couple went by two up on an R1150RT. Fred went on and I went back to Fairbanks. I just don't have the experience riding in mud. He got his picture standing beside the sign.
Speaking of pictures, here is one I got yesterday on the way to Fairbanks;
The mud on Inga was so bad I took her to a car wash. I'm going to have to use chemicals. The dirt is that bad. Tomorrow we go to Denali. It will probably be raining then too. More later.
