when am I?

Tok tonight. The usual wide spot in the road with double frontage and a good grocery if you're lucky. Top of the world highway today. Julie drove. Parts are like going to the sun highway in glacier - without the guard rails. Came down past 40 mile river, through chicken with all the attendant gold mining ghosts past and present. Talked to a sourdough in town tonight- she holds the claims where the roads cross the rivers up 40 mile way. It was time for me to go when the bear stories started. Spent an extra day in Dawson to rest my back. Weather and light there - as here- idyllic. Ate at the sourdough saloon/ jack London grill. Lots of tall women and hardy lads. That town is friendly. I guess because they don't have much other way of holding on. I can hear planes and motorcycles and four wheelers reaching for speed. Painted two pics tonight. Starting to loosen up a bit.
Damn hoteliers give you one hour only of internet. I'm surprised they let you wake up in the same bed.
