TELEGRAPH CREEK IS 65 WEST OF DEASE LAKE B.C.  THE DIRT ROAD IS WELL MAINTAINED AND SMOOTH, SMOOTH ALWAYS MEANS VERY SLIPPERY WHEN WET. WET IT WAS. THE FIRST 33 MILES WERE VERY WET, AFTER THE NIGHT RAINS. THE ROAD CONDITIONS IMPROVED THE FURTHER WEST WE RODE BUT REMAINED WET. TELEGRAPH CREEK SETS ON THE STIKINE RIVER, WHICH IS A POPULAR RAFTING AND FISHING DESTINATION. THE TOWN HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS AND WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTOS IS JUST ABOUT IT. WE RODE OUT FOR LUNCH AT THE RIVER SWAN RESTAURANT AND JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT. THE RIDE OUT TOOK 2 HOURS AND I RODE BACK, NON-STOP IN 1 HOUR 28 MINUTES. THE ROAD HAD DRIED CONSIDERABLE IN THOSE 3 HOURS.

WE THEN CONTINUED ON TO WATSON LAKE YUKON, ANOTHER 3 HOURS AND LIGHT RAIN.

THE TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN COOL BUT NOT COLD.

WHITEHORSE TOMORROW.
