Quick update - in to the Colonies.

Sorry for the lack of updates, but I have either been covering miles, catching up with old travel buddies or had no internet. Its quite amazing that there is better coverage for a traveller in the third world than in the heart of the first. Everyone has it in there homes, but internet cafes are somewhat lacking, plus I have just been plane lazy.

Im now in Whitehorse in the Yukon and am travelling with Axel, whom I meet in Argentina. We meet up on Vancouver Island and have ridden up through British Colombia together. Tomorrow we leave for Dawson City (1500 inhabitants, City?) and up the Dempster HWY, across the arctic circle and the highest point north that I will reach, Inuvik.

I will write up a more detailed travelogue when the time permits, for now I am

concentrating on getting the journey completed and see as much of the great land has to offer. As yet I have not been attacked by any grizzlies, but there have been some ( very safe ) encounters with bear, moose and bison. As for salmon, only in the supermarket I am afraid, but I intend for this to change in Alaska!
