The Second Day

On Sunday August 9, we rented the bikes and a trailer from Kanoe People. We purchased food and booze and headed down the Alaska Highway towards Haines Junction. 
Here is fearless leader Mike Heavey after he picked out his trusty stallion for the ride. We rented the bikes at Kanoe People of Whitehorse.
After gathering supplies such as single malt scotch and a cooler of beer, we were on our way down the Alaska Highway. Our driver Marc was anxious to test the limits of our rental van. The right photo is a view out the van window, with videographer Gary filming. 
This was our lunch stop at a historical marker in Champagne, Yukon, about halfway down the road from Whitehorse to Haines Junction. The right photo shows Rick, Tom L., Eugene, Dennis and Gary.
We took the van to the Pine Lake campground. Here Gary, Jerry, Eugene and Tom P. check out the Pine Lake campsite .
We didn't really need the tarp until just before we departed the next morning. But it did prove helpful as the squirrels kept knocking pins cone chunks on our heads.
This is what we really came for: the scenery. This is Pine Lake, viewed from just behind our campsite.
  In many locations, such as Whitehorse, Haines Junction (shown here) and Atlin, there were signs to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Klondike Gold Rush.
Here is Jerry Brown standing in front of a tourist attraction (I am not sure what else to call it) at the corner of the Alaska Highway and the Haines Highway.
Several of us journeyed up the Alaska Highway to shoot a few more photos before returning to camp for dinner (hot dogs). This was a small lake that was as far north as we traveled on this trip.
Here the two Toms, myself and Tom Proietti, look out over a small stream where some birds were. This was just south of the lake in the photo above.
