Happy Canada Day, eh?This morning we heard all these sirens zooming by Buckshot Betty’s and helicopters overhead, thought there was a nasty smashup on the Alcan, went out to see what was going on and it was just the Beaver Creek Canada Day parade! We walked over to the Visitor’s Center where there was a huge celebration. We met some locals, including some members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Ate some cake and had a good time with the Canucks. Then, we met HB and Sharon who rode in on a sweet motor trike and trailer and are in the cabin next to us. They are "retired" but are running a crawfish farm down in Louisiana. Had a great time trading stories with them. Word has it that the last 20 miles from Beaver Creek to Alaska border is the worst on the Alcan, deep gravel, ruts, and extreme dust. If the pilot car is taking vehicles through tomorrow, we might hitch a ride to the border with them. The tandem does not do well in deep gravel. We’ll let you know how it goes!
