MAYO HAS AN INTERESTING HISTORY, AS THE ONE TIME HUB OF THE YUKON.

IT IS A FADED FLOWER TODAY.

KENO CITY ON THE OTHER HAND IS AN AUTHENTIC RELIC OF THE REAL YUKON  SMALL TOWN. KENO CITY HAS NOT BEEN REBUILT AND IS IN IT’S ORIGINAL FORM. IT COULD USE A LITTLE CARE BUT IT IS CHARMING.

THE MOST REMARKABLE THING FOR ME TODAY WAS THE CONDITION OF THE 35 MILE DIRT ROAD TO KENO. IT IS THE SMOOTHEST AND FASTEST DIRT ROAD I HAVE EVER RIDDEN.

I RODE OUT TO MAYO THEN KENO CITY AND RETURNED TO STEWART CROSSING AND CAMPING.

YES, I DID FISH TODAY AND CAUGHT AN 11 INCH GRAYLING, A FISH SIMILAR TO A TROUT BUT WITHOUT THE FIERCE FIGHT OF A TROUT.

I THREW IT UP ON THE BANK SEVERAL FEET AWAY AND WENT BACK TO CATCH ANOTHER AND IT FOUND IT’S WAY BACK TO THE WATER. GOOD FOR IT.

I DISCOVERED TODAY THAT MY REAR BRAKES ARE COMPLETELY WORN AWAY AFTER ONLY 12, 000 MILES, MY LAST DAKARS BRAKES LASTED 21,000.

GO FIGURE.

NOT SURE WHAT I SHALL DO NOW BUT MAY GO TO WHITEHORSE OR JUST CONTINUE WITHOUT THEM.

ANOTHER ADVENTURE.
