I tried to do a screen save on their spot the day they were on the boat look at glaciers. Twas cool watching the spot going around Esther Island water ways.

Teslin for tonight. Tire change, used all of this one. 4500 miles. surprised it was holding air

 

[RossKean]

That tire has another 1000 miles on it but only on a VERY curvy road. I had one of those a couple weeks ago on a trip back from British Columbia to New Brunswick while hauling a trailer in a brutal and continuous cross wind for much of the way - absolutely ate the rear tire in 3300 miles (couple of thousand on it to start the trip). Front was still good when I got home! Glad you got it swapped before you ran into trouble.

Only 4500 miles! (Michelin PR-2?) Lots of chipseal and gravel?

I hope she doesn't mind me borrow this from her blog which has been pretty darn good.

DAY 12: The Unknown Off-Off-Off-Off Broadway Play: Yukon Campfire Shenanigans

Cast of characters;
– Chef Bryan– Cooked a delicious seafood meal at camp while taking a break from superhero duties.
– Sassy pants Colleen– Usually reserved, she was giving it back in spades and not taking flack from anyone.
–David Sr. – Figurative pot-stirrer extraordinar and thrower of rocks.
–David II – The great weather predictor…(Keeping it family friendly. ) He turned out to be right this time.
–Marissa – If Martha Stewart and Survivorman were combined it would be her. She can do anything.
Kirk– Knows a lot about a lot (very handy when things need fixing or improvised!) and loves to swap navy stories by the campfire.
–Nikki– Tough chick with great comebacks to David’s taunting and mad campfire abilities.
–Vikki– Way too excited about taxidermy since it’s wildlife that’s much easier to capture on camera. Also a special talent for tripping over tent ropes attached to stakes. Three times.
Danny– Provider of the musical numbers. Specializes in “Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls” in beautiful falsetto.

Looks life they are camping in the Hythe Campgrounds tonight.
